“influencers” are more like models than celebrities… they add nothing
Do you really think models add nothing? Because that is a form of art too. If anything the comparison only serves to give some credit to influencers.
I’ll bite… what do models add?
What is there to “bite”? Photography would be a lot more limited without them. Fashion, whether you are into it or not, needs them. Traditional artists rely on them to learn. This is not even bringing up the more salacious side of it which, regardless if you think that is “worthy” or not, it’s enjoyed by a lot of people.
it’s not an art, it’s advertising…
Do you realize artistic photography uses models too? I mentioned it right below in this discussion.
Consider that maybe you associate modeling with advertisements because our society is more driven by marketing than culture.
actually, no. It’s a line from the movie Mia… about a model… and i, an artist, have given it thought prior to this discussion…
photography IS an art, yep… models posing isn’t… it can be kinda artistic, i suppose… there’s an expression in it… but it can be artistic without being an artform.
like making a wood dresser, it’s more of craftsmanship than an art (but carpentry cooooould be used in art, such as wooden sculpture…)
and, yes, influencers coooould be taking artistic pictures of themselves, but that’s not what influencer really means.
at any rate, i hope they all die painful deaths… and it’s about the only artsy thing i feel ok with AI replacing.
And if you consider beauty filters, AI replaced influencers a long time ago…
Arts and crafts is a whole another discussion, and some say this distinction is only made to demean artisans when compared to academic artists. Similarly, if photography is art, and physical expression such as dance is art, I don’t see why modeling wouldn’t be art.
Influencers aren’t all Logan Paul either. Would someone who offers useful recommendations or makes good comedy skits deserve to die either? Seems extreme. This whole thread seems way too hateful of the idea.
i see you only skimmed my comment and then treated my joke as if im serious… pretty lame
C’mon…
If you wanna judge me for my comments you gotta do better than “As an artist I thought about it and decided X is an art and Y isn’t” as if everyone should just take your opinions as fact without any reasons for it. You didn’t give me anything to ponder any deeper about.
If it was all a joke, it wasn’t all that funny either.
you’re so dense, i was responding to “Consider that maybe you associate modeling with advertisements because our society is more driven by marketing than culture.” and explaining that’s not why i consider modeling advertising… not you’re strawman of “so everyone should just take my opinion as fact”
and the obvious joke was about wanting them to all die painful deaths, not all of it.
i find it hard to believe you’re that stupid and still able to use a keyboard, so i have to assume you’re a troll
