The desire to be beautiful has always been one of the main desires of people. The Internet and social networks, in particular Instagram, have only intensified this pursuit of the perfect appearance. Beautiful photos, retouched images and a huge number of likes and followers have become the goal of many users. But how often do we think about how real what we see on the Internet?
One of the most popular trends today is changing your appearance with the help of plastic surgery. Silicone lips, breast implants, and other cosmetic procedures have become the norm in some parts of society. Many female influencers use OnlyFans, Instagram, Twitter and other social media to promote their personal brands and make money. To do this, they try to meet the standards of beauty that are imposed on them by these same social networks and fashion trends. However, in this pursuit of the perfect appearance, there are many problems. Ultimately, people sacrifice their own identity. The “Fake it until you make it” era makes the millstones turn, grinding everyone.
Critics
Greg Lansky created a marble sculpture “Algorithmic Beauty” that divided critics and ordinary people in opinion. The sculpture received mixed reviews ranging from admiration to disgust. If some call his sculpture a mirror of modern society, then others are nothing more than garbage and unsuccessful and straightforward an attempt to create something worthy of attention. But we can’t deny that the sculpture attracted a lot of attention and caused a flurry of discussion in society.
Greg Lansky
French adult film producer, born December 12, 1982 in Paris, France. He started his career in the porn industry in 2012, founding his company Tushy.com, which specialized in filming high quality anal sex. Subsequently, Lansky created other companies such as Vixen.com and Blacked.com, which have been acclaimed by critics and the public as one of the most successful and quality sites in the industry.
Throughout his career, Lansky has received numerous awards and nominations in various categories including Best Director, Best Scene, Best Website, and more. He sold his stake in Vixen Media Group in January 2020.
Although Lansky is also active in philanthropy and helps leading organizations such as the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), Save the Children and others.
Lansky wrote that he created “Algorithmic Beauty” using scanning, 3D modeling and marble milling technology from Italy. He signed it with the phrase: “How much pain would you endure to feel loved?”
Perhaps “Algorithmic Beauty” with the image of the modified Venus de Milo and taking into account modern realities is indeed the very truth that many would prefer not to notice, instead of acknowledging it. Scars on a large silicone breast, a huge ass with cellulite, a selfie pose — it’s all the best metaphor for our digital age, a fictional goddess exaggerated by marketing, and we all want to take a selfie with her.
