Armed with ink and imagination, a Vancouver street artist has created a series of works ofStreet art on a particular aspect of contemporary culture: i SOCIAL MEDIA and their relationship with our children's generation.
Is called iHeart and in his graffiti he portrays children interacting with Facebook and Twitter, take Selfies and play with their smartphones by writing in hashtags, looking at Instagram notifications and complaining about automatic corrections.
With a technique reminiscent of that of Banksy - use of color and graphics marked by the interaction between positive and negative space - iHeart tells the story of one media-obsessed social culture and its evident and inevitable effect it will have on the youngest.
The Canadian artist's graffiti have appeared throughout the city, inviting us to reflect on how addicted we are to SOCIAL MEDIA and how social networks are affecting our lives in a negative way. Maybe it's time to go from virtual to realdon't you think?
