FrameTok City Vol. 1

web-based immersive experience of civil resistance by Freakygreenfish alias Luca Mußnig

Luca Mußnig, who operates under the digital pseudonym Freakygreenfish (or simply "Fish"), is an artist whose work defies traditional categories, blending activism, digital media, and conceptual art in unique and provocative ways. Their project, “FrameTok City Vol. 1”, is an immersive web-based exploration of civil resistance that underscores Fish's complex relationship with social media platforms and their power dynamics.

Fish entered the world of social media with a hopeful perspective, believing in its potential to drive structural change and act as an open public space. The allure of TikTok's democratic space, where activists can potentially rise to fame and effect change in the working class, was so great that Fish nearly abandoned their artistic endeavors. But instead of withdrawing, Fish reoriented their approach, focusing on creating content that unifies rather than segregates—content that engages the masses, not just the elite bourgeoisie or the niche art community.

In their groundbreaking work, "FrameTok City Vol. 1", Fish ventures into the world of 3D digital art to dissect their experiences with TikTok. The project is a critical examination of the platform, offering both a personal and societal commentary. It encapsulates their disappointment with the shortcomings of social media activism, highlighting the yawning gap between initial expectations and the reality of these platforms. At the same time, the work conveys the essence of hacktivism, offering a fresh perspective on the concept and practice of digital resistance.

"FrameTok City Vol. 1" also provides a nuanced critique of the divergent realities of social media, probing the complexities and paradoxes inherent in using these platforms as tools for social change. As we traverse the digitally constructed landscapes of "FrameTok City Vol. 1", we are prompted to question the structures and mechanisms of these platforms and to reflect on their role in shaping our contemporary realities.

At its core, Fish's work is an embodiment of a heartfelt desire to unite people and challenge existing social structures. By engaging with the digital realm and, more specifically, the world of TikTok, Fish aims to stimulate critical dialogue and encourage reflection on the transformative potential—and the limitations—of online activism. Through their art, Fish invites us to consider the broader implications of social media activism, its potential to effect genuine change, and the challenges it poses to activists and artists alike
