What happens when there is only hate or love, an in between is indifference. Constructive criticism what is it then? and love is what one is compelled to feel.

Social media is a compass and it is also a destination where we make ourselves for audience. It is more to represent than anything else. Yes we have conversations and storming outburst are almost a definite way to make headlines, and having lots of followers. What does social media and branding do to creativity and how we perceive creativity? Shopping, any kind of consuming is creating your persona and a voice nowadays. It is telling of what one stands for. Shopping beautiful objects, perfectly designed and then be seen around and in these objects. Instagram is a place where one can hype one’s lifestyle for everyone to see and admire. It is an interesting phenomenon combining modern thinking of what creativity is and makes way to wonder creativity in pop culture, in contemporary world where posing as an active maker of images with technology makes everyone a professional, an icon, a model. To represent something on Instagram and in today’s world there must be a clear style, specific choices made where one stands, stands for and what kinds of things and values one represents. There is a completely out blown way to sell products and brands by telling they represent creative thinking, progress, creative making. The future which is sold with the product is revealed, owned and being made with special defined and refined accessibility, originality, excess, consciousness and creative solutions. Buyer makes together with producer the product by wanting it, showing it, using it, living with it and looking for another, a better one, which brings something different, novel feel of continuity, surprise, feeling of extraordinary and luxurious in to everyday. It is curious to analyse feed of pictures which show a lifestyle and are a product at the same time. To analyse the impact, motifs and motives, desires, needs of the maker and the viewer is to analyse the world we live in
On the video of Rich Kids on Instagram (Cutting the edge) there are sentences like one picture tells a thousand words and of course, there are haters, they make me the money. Opinions of haters and the amount of negative feedback is essential to make fame and to be able to ignore and use for one’s benefit the pure force of public lashing is a big help. With help of finance and security of money it really does not matter what people say. It is all business. Hating is a way of showing interest.
What is striking is how traditional gender roles are for the rich and within Instagram culture. Is it because there is a flow of women bringing themselves forward wanting attention from rich men? Women scream when a man pours champagne on them like children, they seem very helpless walking on the highest heels possible and lean on men. Women in that world still look for male assistance, look to be used and men enjoy the cattle. Strength is in the wealth. It is boldness, arrogance, exploitation and indifference, it is ability to use wealth in any way possible and brag about it. There is no interest or need to change how women are, even women don’t seem to mind. It is cluelessness how they must behave and act out because luxury is about sex, not caring and showing off. To win is to like all this culture has to offer.
Femininity is a tool and an asset. Ultra femininity is a power look where other people do the work, although posing is work too. Women seeking to be trophies even though they have all the means to do otherwise is very odd. Is it an easy way to live? Is it an instant life thinking it is the best way to live? Obviously. What is lasting and does the result matter? Interest is in the now and in the future, where deals and money are made. These people live their lives without interest in the outside world, rather escape anything that reminds of the outside, other than what to gain from it. Interest in rich people in general is the same as interest in royalty.
On video below there are rich Asian women who create businesses of their own on the side of spending their parents’ wealth. They have the freedom of realising any idea possible. It is feminist wave that has reached these women, to allow women to live as they please, which in a strict patriarchal policing culture like China has is quite new.

Round figures, something we see often in news fly by. Do we get numbed by the overdosing of numeric info, graphs of how much? What things cost make what they are worth or is it the other way round? How things are seen and handled, priced, talked about, saved or discarded. Wars are expensive, but education is precious, healthcare is too expensive. Museums are meant to shine like diamonds of the cities, priced temples of civilization, education, art, creativity of people. What else? What else do museums of art represent? Commercialism, consumerism, luxury, grandiose and status, power and what is valued? Can they critique themselves? Are they able to keep up with the change (do personnel equal the museum, bad management equal bad museum concept, bad working environment?), mold themselves for the needs of art (needs of people), not needs of museums or is it the same thing? Are art museums art embodied and creators of museum complexes, brands, franchise doing service for art? There is an awful lot of strange interaction, planning and shady promises hanging in the air which all look somewhat crooked for many reasons. Millions are peanuts for some, fairly abstract and large for many, but it is a daily routine to go through what things cost. What art costs is the shadiest of all. Small things make big things, but for some reason spectacle is the only thing that is the honey to attract tourists, art tourists. This is what is assumed. How do you measure when there is no limit but unlimited options to own and exploit, hidden and without showing true intentions, what is what, to make more money to make more value for brands for owners for rulers for player for money men with the help of tourists. Is it a question of heroism, progress of art? I doubt it.

It has been all along Western civilization has been exploring foreign cultures this civilization has refused to understand and know those who it likes to explore and exploit bringing progress and development thinking it is something better and above. It is us and them, those others whom we don’t even want to understand. They are so different. To say of not understanding culture of interacting in our country, our society, our system functioning to benefit art life and variety of it, how we maintain system of ours, how we think things should be done. To say of being naive and not understanding how we do things in Finland is more than odd for people whose nation is planning a trip to Mars. You do not understand foreign countries nor people is at the core of arrogance and stupidity of you nation. Monetary value calculated, planned winnings, honor and imperialist attitude of yours are the flaws of yours you do not want to change, because you do not see them flaws but strengths, your eternal way of life which must not be disturbed. Short-sighted ideas and plain force is nothing but surface, expensive and futile leading to chain reaction of failure with no end. It is good to learn from mistakes made. You fail to do even that. And you dare to say those who object your fucked up project are against art. Fuck you. Your anti-progress, anti-democratic system and thinking sickens me.

Her illness is not hers, from her. It is the damaged society that claims it is her that is ill. She reacts to insanity around.

She seems as if she was not a real person. Only when she began to show signs of dissatisfaction which were carefully reported in media, signs of irregular behavior and grief. When she began to break out of her impeccable industry-wise flawless facade it was said she went crazy and needed to rest. She is a money-making doll without any other agenda, but she is a human being and that human being began to show. It is a touchy topic of losing one’s grip, grip from given strict frame from where she is not allowed to step out in public. Doing the opposite of what is expected her to do she shocks us, makes us laugh at her and at her illness, her stupidity, her fault, her flaw and her death as a pop icon. She tried to ruin what we think is her place and her job to deliver for us by doing shameful unreasonable hopping around and everybody followed. If she does not do what we think she should do, we push her over board and kill her. If she destroys what a woman is supposed to be we punish her. She has more than the most of us, we are allowed to rule her.

Bitching means to say what you really think and give an honest opinion. That is not expected of her. So bitching is useful and needed as is honesty. So why not call it that and not bitching. Honesty is beautiful. It makes people grow and see themselves as what they are. Bitching is different from speaking ones mind when there is need for it. Though I have wondered the use of SM-clothing, manners, body language and equipment in pop music. Is it to simulate bitching and attitude. Since lots of pop culture is available for people who are underage, what does such bitching mean to say exactly. Pop is hyper-sexual in imagery and therefore the contradictions in how imagery and behavior are regulated and dictated does not add up nor make hugely understandable logical sane message. As I understand it is fine to act crazy but not be one, it is fine to act and fantasize wild sexual play but in real life sexuality is a taboo and one of the biggest fights are over what is right and what isn’t what comes to expressing sexuality.
 
A superstar in a cellophane wrapping in high heels just like any other female mega star. She. The stereotype does not vary that much. It is not allowed to. It is the role of women in public eye not to give themselves as they are. That would be emotional whoring. If they were allowed to actually express themselves an order would break, power balance would change, the message too. Instead they are dreams to sell from a factory, an image, a sound and an act with strong sexual appeal, extremely strong. Sexuality is the basic marketing tool and an asset. Dolls do not and must not reveal themselves though. That is part of the play of keeping the distance and keeping the act of pop, a secret and likability. Lovable, kind, gentle, sexual, beautiful, distant, perfect, undemanding, not knowing too much, presentable, bubbly, funny, enjoyable, cute, young, fresh, new..Too many dimension is difficult, so keep it simple. It is part of their appeal, part of ‘their’ art that there is that unreachable something; a star faraway glowing her beauty and singing songs, dancing for us. How a person, a girl who wants to dance and sing for her living ends up being a product and agrees to the terms of sexist, abusive industry. Fortune and Fame is what we all want, isn’t it. Price is quite heavy.
