I'm an arts researcher and I would like to hear your perspective for a project I'm in!
Hi everyone! I'm an arts researcher from Latin America and have recently obtained a small grant to investigate the relationship between certain online aesthetics genres and their propositions regarding nature and technology.
My idea is that on different levels of explicity these genres contain concepts of the relationship between nature and technology: of balance, of conflict, of domination, etc, and that these images can act as a visual representation of propositions for different futures, political projects, and fears and hopes regarding the way we organize society, either for better or for worse.
This poll is a part of the research in which I'm trying to measure if people who participate in online spaces share this perspective, or what vision they have of these images, in order to either validate my hypothesis or rebuke it. I also want to know if people who participate in these aesthetics communities tend to take the genre as a way to propel issues and propositions forward, if when they create artwork they have this in mind, if they think it's just a vehicle for representation but not of advancing a political perspective regarding nature and technology, etc.
I want to explictly note that this poll does not collect your email address or other user data, it's completely anonymous. It may take 10 minutes at most to complete (depending on how thorough and detailed you want to be), and if you have the time it would help my research a lot. I'm trying to put forward a theoretical proposition backed by quantitative and qualitative data. The collected replies will be processed in order to inform the project, so by participating you'd be taking part in an academically legitimized research :)
Thank you in advance for participating! The link is here:
