My name is Lucas Adriano. I was raised in Angeles City in the Philippines before coming to New Jersey to live with family and continue my education in illustration. I don't consider myself an artist yet, but I'd like to one day. I have a special love for stories in all forms. It doesn't matter if they are video games, books, comics or films. I hope to publish my own story one day. I have never opened ChatGPT in my life.
"ChatGPT Made Me Delusional" by Eddy Burback: https://youtu.be/VRjgNgJms3Q?si=MzUZNNcjrOi6bjim
-I consider this video essay to be a work of art, and I believe it is one of the most important documentations of the dangers of relying on ChatGPT.
Part 2
Understanding Patriarchy by Bell Hooks:
1.) "Dismantling and changing patriarchal culture is work that men and women must do together."
-Changing the system doesn't begin until those who benefit from it acknowledge the injustice as well.
2.) "If men are to reclaim the essential goodness of male being, if they are to regain the space of openheartedness and emotional expressiveness that is the foundation of well-being, we must envision alternatives to patriarchal masculinity."
-Much of my own beliefs were shaped by my father. He taught me to look out for our own, to provide for the people we love. These things, though well-intentioned, are based in patriarchal beliefs. But he never taught me to not cry or to be cruel or to accept violence as a man's nature. I like the person my father helped turn me into.
What Memes Owe to Art History by Alice Bucknell:
1.) "Performance brought art into the street and public spaces, leveling the gap between artist and audience."
-Art was once seen as something exclusive to the higher class. It used to be that the average person couldn't afford a portrait of themselves with their life savings. But now, pencils and paper only cost a few dollars, and thanks to the Internet, anyone can learn to draw or dance.
2.) "Through humor, memes incite a collective reaction to everyday life as well as reveling in it, in a format no less playful than it is political, decoding the murky structural screw-ups, paradoxes, and hypocrisies of our current political climate."
-Turning political controversies into jokes is a practice as old as the monarchy.
Memes Are Our Generation's Protest Art by Sage Lazzaro:
1.) "At their core, all memes, regardless of their politics, are a tool for expression."
-Art, no matter how simplistic in creation or purpose, has always been a tool for political criticism.
2.) "Memes can spread far more quickly than the songs or art projects of previous generations, and there’s such a low barrier to entry that anyone can make them; they can go viral in a matter of minutes."
-I found it interesting that Internet access wasn't acknowledged as an entry barrier. Having the Internet at our disposal is so common now that we forget so many people can't afford a modern phone or computer.
