  • Death, Beauty, and Iconoclastic Nostalgia: Precarious Aesthetics and Lana Del Rey
    Death, beauty, and iconoclastic nostalgia: Precarious aesthetics and Lana Del Rey Arild Fetveit NECSUS 4 (2): 187–207 DOI: 10.5117/NECSUS2015.2.FETV Abstract The obsolescence of analogue media along with a rapid succession of digital formats has sensitised us to the mortality of media. It has also spawned what Dominik Schrey has called ‘a golden age of nostalgia for these allegedly “dead media”’, now explored by visual artists, filmmakers, cinematographers, Do-It- Yourself enthusiasts, Polaroid fans, Instagram users, music video directors and others. Since the mid-1990s a partially-iconoclastic impulse focused on exploring the mortality of media materials has often taken the form of medium-specific noise. However, in recent years alternative strategies that counteract clarity, involving iconoclastic disruptions of the process of mediation, supported by a host of degrading techniques and strategies that thicken and foreground the medium and its materiality, have partially replaced uses of medium-specific noise. Cultural analysts awake to these and related developments have responded with a series of productive interventions. Drawing on many of these, I propose a media aesthetic approach where the disruptions in question are conceived as involving instances of precarious mediation to be examined within a precarious aesthetics. The music videos of Lana Del Rey effectively articulate ways in which precarious mediation is used in contemporary popular culture. In many of her music videos, like Summertime Sadness (2012) and Summer Wine (2013), the precarious mediation is given a nostalgic inflection, where an ambiguous yearning for the past is imbricated with cunning attempts to perfect imperfec- tion. This nostalgia appears iconoclastic on the level of mediation as well as in its yearning for the past greatness of America.

And what a year it was! The year had barely begun when we were already saying goodbye to musical heroes gone far too soon. David Bowie, Paul Kantner, Glenn Frey, Leon Russell, Maurice White, Prince, Juan Gabriel, George Michael, Sharon Jones... the list goes on. And yet, while sad 2016 became a meme of its own, there is so much for the industry to celebrate. Music consumption is at an all-time high. Overall volume is up 3% over 2016, fueled by a 76% increase in on-demand audio streams, enough to offset declines in sales and return a positive year for the business. Nearly 650 solo artists, groups and collaborators appeared on the Top 200 Song Consumption chart in 2016, representing over 1,200 different songs. The rapid changes in technology and distribution channels are changing the way we discover and engage with content.

  • FINALIST 2018 Taylor A. Greene High School Contest
    FINALIST 2018 Taylor A. Greene High School Contest Fresh Coat of Paint by Jennifer Mouser Genre: Nonfiction Sponsoring Teacher: Andrea Rodrigue, Berlin High School I’m sick of the “yellow paint” mentality. Sick of paint chips, torn flower crowns, silvery scars, and Tumblr girls in their art journals begging to find their “yellow paint”. I’m sick of the “27 Club”, of romanization, of self-diagnosis, of “problematic” culture. I’m sick of it. Among all the famous tortured artists, Vincent Van Gogh seems to reign supreme with him allegedly eating yellow paint to make him happy, finding the colors, bright and wonderful, would curb the darkness within him. Young girls online write about finding their “yellow paint”, finding the very thing that will make them beautiful, or often use the “yellow paint” metaphor to speak of something they love so much that just consumes them. Googling it reveals a plethora of artists scribbling “find your yellow paint” with wonderful designs and paragraphs beside them. People regard it to love, saying “you’re my yellow paint”, referring to the person as someone who destroys them yet makes them happy. They draw sunflowers, they make poems, they drown in their romanizations, drown in poetry, drown in their symbolism. Paint stains their fingertips and bleeds onto their work. I stumbled upon it accidentally, but I found Alexandra Timmer and, by far, her poem was the most famous as she wrote, “If you were so unhappy that even the strangest ideas could possibly work, like painting the walls of their internal organs yellow, then you’re going to do it.
