Instagram numb

Figura Broka

Scroll through the instagram feed
And after a while, numb out the Aesthetic sense
Numb out what is on the screen, the beauty, the message, meaning, feeling
Tho countless images, beautiful, balanced, perfect
Scroll past them
And an ocasional like
But scroll
And the next
And pass them too
The most sublime
Next
An awe-sticking thunder to any mortal
Next
God himself might be hiding in one of those images
Next
What are you scrolling for?
Next

Scroll through your Facebook feed
See what ideal social life looks like
Numb your sense of appreciation to absorb it
Judge your own social life to that standard

Scroll through your Instagram feed, stroll through a museum
See what ideal art looks like
Numb your senses and absorb
Judge art never again the same

Numb: to silence, opposite of intensity
A silence of the mind, of the self
To passively absorb
Opposite and consequence of intensity
