Bauhaus’ influence on Instagram

Bauhaus changed the relationship between student and teacher forever as artists collaborated to create new visions for tomorrow’s everyday life. Teachers and students heavily advocated to incorporate technology into design. A strong advocate for this was Laszlo Moholy- Nagy. His belief in technology, specifically photography, would show the world things people could not see with their own eyes.

Eventually photography meshed with graphic design to create powerful works utilizing camera angles, lighting, zoom in, and framing shots. Maholy-Nagy created The New Vision which was dedicated to look at the world through a camera lens. Eventually, photography became a viable alternative to paining. Everything Maholy-Nagy and all the other Bauhaus artists were working on was completely experimental. However, captured were images that shaped the wait people looked at the world and evoked motivation within society to test their limits with photos many thought was impossible.

Today, it is a struggle to get people to put the camera down and see the world not through a lens. However, a 21^stcentury comparison to experimenting with pictures in Bauhaus is the world leading picture app, Instagram. Instagram has taken over the internet because of the principle Maholy-Nagy claimed all those years ago, that the world can be seen differently trough a lens. Today, that still stands true with endless amounts of filters and editing software to enhance any photo to the artists liking. Our world is connected through these photos and as technology advances, the lens will be able to capture more that no-one thought would be possible.

Détournement and Dada

The Earth itself is its own self-cleansing organ. It produces all humans. All humans are artists. All artists and the minds within them create structure, organization, and set the rules of society of what is considered beautiful. Yet, humans are arrogant and restless creatures. As a society, we do not allow norms and world leadership to go unquestioned. When more and more people question, the world changes. When the world changes, a movement occurs. And it is infectious. Dada was the infectious cultural movement that the world may have cleansed itself from once it ran its course. Yet, the next movement and every movement thereafter has been impacted by these artists. Since Dada, The Earth has forever lost its immune system that kept out the unstructured raw beauty created by this new wave of artists. A lot was in the mind of Swiss artists from 1916 through 1922.
