I think selfies can be an idiotic gesture that is representative of the individuals inability or unwillingness to properly engage in a critical and analytical dialogue with either a thing or an experience. Escaping, through the act of taking a selfie, to a place of “thoughtlessness” results from a lack of social comfort or confidence. Are selfies indicative of our increasing stupidity as a species.

While some are brought to tears by the piece and others are sexualizing it, it just shows what a wide range of thoughts and views there are.

Thu, 19 Feb 2015 18:30:39 +0000http://miriamposner.com/dh150w15/?p=863#comment-265I read a fantastic blog post about this art exhibit a few months ago, and unfortunately I can’t find it now that I want to reference it. From what I can remember, the author, an African American woman with family roots that go back to the time of slavery in this country, revealed the range of emotions that she felt when walking through the exhibit: from awe and wonder at the artwork itself and its message, to tears of anger and frustration upon seeing other (white) ignorant attendants of the exhibit laughing or taking crude selfies with the sugar sphinx. Not only were they completely ignorant to the powerful message this exhibit expresses, but they were perpetuating the issue of marginalization of the black community at the same time.

Wed, 18 Feb 2015 21:41:13 +0000http://miriamposner.com/dh150w15/?p=863#comment-250Walker’s piece definitely delivers the provocative aspect of art and the public reaction towards the large-scale installation is as equally important as the piece itself. The viewers, inappropriate or not, contribute to the value of this piece and we learn about our culture by observing the way we treat culture. Whether it was intentional of Walker, she manages to expose the sexist and racial ignorance that still exists within our society.
