Does social media kill creativity? | Vita Kari | TEDxUofW
Have you ever considered virality to be a form of art? Internet artist Vita Kari explores how the web has transformed the artistic landscape, shifting from a decentralized playground of self-expression into an attention-driven marketplace. In this captivating and visually surprising talk, they reveal how we can reclaim social media as a creative studio rather than a storefront. Discover the liberating power of "digital refusal" and learn why embracing the "cringe" might just be the ultimate key to unlocking your creativity in the digital age. Vita Kari (they/them) is a visual artist from Los Angeles investigating virality through textiles, performance, and video.Kari focuses on the relationship between internet culture, diaspora, and public space, through their lens of being a deaf/Hard of Hearing (HOH) artist. Their figurative tapestries (inspired by their grandmother’s rugs), often feature unweaving that obscures the image, like missing dialogue without captions while deaf/HOH.
Kari earned an MFA from Otis College of Art and Design in 2024. They have exhibited nationally and internationally, including a two-person show in Shanghai/Wuhan in China, Zona Maco in Mexico City, Goodmother Gallery, Spy Projects, Bolsky Gallery, and more.
