I have been capturing and arranging Facebook posts that I’ve read since January this year for my project. So recently, when the Cambridge Analytica incident fermented, I have been thinking about the nature of my project, and what my intention to record those information has to do with the life cycle of social media (identifying a need→born of an idea→establish of platform→thrive→new problem→disposal whether the whole platform of certain values→reidentifiying a need) reveals by the incident.
I must have had too much time to watch through the whole two-days congress testifying (aha!) but it pretty much tells the world about the nature of the business that ‘could not be categorised’. (werunadswerunadswerunadswerunads)
Apparently, the reality is, as it always have been in these days, more dramatic and severe than what creative individuals trying to create in their works. A renowned actor and one-act comedian in Hong Kong announced his retirement last year because “there isn’t a need for one-act comedies anymore”. The city, or at least his audiences, need not get to know the preposterous reality through his plays anymore.
