Significant Content | Thursday Night Live!

Nieuwe Instituut is het nationale museum voor architectuur, design en digitale cultuur. Nieuwe Instituut houdt zich bezig met de grote ontwikkelingen in de maatschappij, zoals de krapte op de woningmarkt, de energietransitie, de opkomst van kunstmatige intelligentie, mobiliteit of het gebruik van de publieke ruimte. Ontwerpers, waaronder architecten en digitale makers, kunnen aan die ontwikkelingen een belangrijke bijdrage leveren. Nieuwe Instituut toont het werk van ontwerpers, brengt mensen met elkaar in contact, verzamelt, ontwikkelt en deelt kennis.

Popular creators @TheSushiDragon and @driplist talk about the artistry behind their work in the first iteration of Significant Content

Het Nieuwe Instituut

How does the content on your social media feed come into existence? Why are YouTube video titles often half capitalised? Will your TikTok video become more popular if you use a ring light? While content creators on social media are not usually equated with film directors, musicians or designers, they nevertheless make an important contribution to our daily media consumption and (digital) culture. In the Significant Content event series, popular creators from various social media platforms talk about the artistry behind their work. The two speakers of this evening are Stefan Li (@<a href="https://www.twitch.tv/thesushidragon" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">TheSushiDragon</a>) and Somi Lynda (@<a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@driplist?" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">driplist</a>).This new series looks at how social media creators&#x27; content can make a difference within the framework of a given platform, revealing the medium-specific characteristics of that platform. These creators often deploy clever tactics that ensure their content works well within the medium they are using. By outlining the content and methods of such creators, the series helps to unravel how social media platforms work beneath the surface.SpeakersStefan Li, @<a href="https://www.twitch.tv/thesushidragon" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">TheSushiDragon</a>, is active on Twitch. His streams look like video performances in which he is constantly flipping between different cameras, applying video and sound effects at an incredibly high pace and all in real time using a custom suit full of buttons and toggles. In his own words he is “exploiting technology to inject realtime imaginative content.” Somi Lynda, @<a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@driplist?" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">driplist</a>, moved from Nigeria to the Netherlands a couple of years ago. She uses surprising situations she found herself in, in her new country of residence to make TikTok videos. Using the platform&#x27;s formats and tools she shows Dutch habits and aspects of the culture natives might not even realize they participate in.Significant Content<a href="http://significantcontent.com" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Significant Content</a> was initiated by <a href="http://sjefvanbeers.com" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Sjef van Beers</a> and <a href="http://www.florianvanzandwijk.nl" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Florian van Zandwijk</a>.
