The Nihilistic Future of Post-internet Era: Analysis of the Production Mechanism of Core Aesthetics
* Author to whom correspondence should be addressed.
Abstract
In the post-internet age, Core aesthetics emerges as an artistic response to the evolving societal values and challenges inherent in the human experience. This essay explores the essence and significance of Core aesthetics, focusing on its attributes of fear and nostalgia. Core aesthetics utilizes elements such as amateur editing, low-quality imagery, and thematic compositions to evoke resonance among viewers, blurring the boundaries between self and the external world. It delves into the production background, highlighting the impact of the post-internet era, centralized internet management, and the formation of virtual communities. The essay examines the psychological and societal factors driving individuals towards self-indulgence and escapism within the confines of reality, resulting in weariness and a struggle for meaning. It also explores the influence of the internet as a production medium, democratizing art creation and challenging traditional notions of authorship and subjectivity. Looking ahead, Core aesthetics is expected to evolve and adapt to technological advancements and cultural shifts, empowering individuals to express themselves authentically and challenging established norms. However, questions surrounding authorship, personal agency, and the impact of digital influence on identity will persist. In the future, Core aesthetics will reflect and navigate the complexities of the times, offering a lens through which we can explore and understand profound changes and challenges. It has the potential to inspire dialogue, foster connection, and provoke introspection, contributing to a richer understanding of our shared human experience in an increasingly complex and interconnected world.
