Is Social Networking isolating people ?
Is Social Networking isolating people ?
In a recent Article entitled ,
'Can using Facebook send you mad ? '
in Adelaide Now / Advertiser by Kate Loveys ,
Prominent Academics are attacking the perceived benefits of Social Media .
The Article continues ,
' A leading academic claims that the technology is threatening to dominate our lives ,
making us more isolated
and less human .......
has even branded the use of the social networking sites
a form of ' modern madness ' .
across various Social Networks ,
in many countries across the Globe ,
has been the opposite of these claims by some Academics .
A Case in point has been the promotion by our Team
of the Kunstwerk of renowned Artist
Veronika Kring .
Before the use of Social Media ,
Veronika Kring's Kunstwerk
was mainly appreciated by an Australian audience .
Since our prommotion on Social Media ,
Veronika Kring
now has a legion of fans in the USA , Europe and the Middle East .
Because Veronika is of Deutsche background ,
it was of particular interest to her to connect with Kunst lovers in Deutschland ,
which is now the case .
If it was not for Social Media none of this interaction would have been possible .
Social Media reconnects people with friends and family across the Globe .

- In large Cities such as London , Los Angeles , New York , Berlin and Sydney , were people already isolated before the emergence of Social Media ?
- Can Social Media technology really completely dominate our lives ?
- Are ' Ivory Tower Academics ' threatened by Social Media ?
- When the Telephone was first invented , did some Academics claim the new technology would isolate and harm people ?
- Why are so many peple using Social Media worldwide if it is increasing their isolation ?

Is the Obama Traum Series by Veronika Kring too political ?
Is the Obama Traum Series of Paintings by Veronika Kring too political ?
The Obama's Traum Painting was recently mysteriously removed from a Major Art Show
without any explanation to the Artist , Veronika Kring .
We asked Veronika Kring if she thought the Painting was too political ?
Veronika added ,
" I really have no idea why there has been so much Kontroverse over the Obama's Traum Paintings ,
it certainly was not intended by me .
My Kunst comes from an inner metaphysical perspective ,
and any political interpretations are up to the individual .
I am attempting to capture the essence of the Dreams of various Public figures .
So far , the Traum Series of President Obama , PM Julia Gillard ,
and the Blessed Mary ,
and Saint Mary MacKillop have all attracted a lot of very unusual attention
from vastly different quarters .
But the Obama Traum Series keeps getting drawn into very contentious political
arguments ,
with involved commentary from sections of the inteligentsia ,
and I have received a lot of positive feedback from my Deutsche friends on Twitter ,
which is very encouraging .
The most concerning of all are the personal attacks I have received on Facebook
because I chose Obama ,
some with racist undertones which I abhor ".
Veronika Kring has 5000 friends on her Facebook Profile ,
and examples of the highly controversial Traum Series can be seen on the Wall .
