Dollcee said, I had this really good beat happening in my head on the bus on the way over this morning. Then, a concept suddenly enter my thoughts and I totally lost the beat.
Dos asked, what was the concept?
Dollcee replied, cultural reflectors.
Dos said, it sounds good, but what are cultural reflectors?
Dollcee said, well, it is really simple. Dollcee said where you travel on the bus, you go pass lots of digital signs with ever changing advertisements. At first, I thought, it would be a good idea to replace the signs with mirrors, so citizens could continually reflect on who and where they are.
Then, I thought, come on girl you are digital content maker at the cutting edge of cultural reflection. Instead of mirrors, why not connect them to video cameras.
Dos did something unusual for him, he got excited and interjected into Dollcee’s stream of consciousness. Why not employ digital content makers like us to go around with videos cameras and live stream on the signs. It would save having to put boring advertisements on them all the time.
Dollcee didn’t mind Dos’s interjection and agreed to what a good idea it is. She said, most citizens don’t like advertisements popping up on everything all the time, I am sure the re-purposing of digitol billboards would be appreciated.
Padoke asked, isn’t that an inversion of the free-market consumer system?
Dollcee said, oh my goodness Padoke, thanks for pointing that out. The last thing I would ever wish to do is turn everything and whatever upside down. I only thought of it as a bit of fun for everyone to see themselves as they are and not be the targets of marketing all of the time.
Cybo said, my character on this blog does not have to be as well behaved as your character, Dollcee. I wonder if it would be culturally appreciated if the signs were hacked by neo-digitol graffiti artists and all sorts of fun displays are constantly being presented on them.
