The strange core is a kind of network aesthetics. In the old Internet era (from about the 1990s to 2010), these images already existed, but did not form an aesthetic. It was not until 2017, when a YouTuber named DavidCrypt uploaded a video to explain this strange aesthetic, this type of art became popular. Fashion is a circle." The strange core is like Y2K wear, which caters to people's retro aesthetics and gradually becomes electronic pulp.
Low Fidelity (Lo-Fi)
So what is low-fidelity? The author summarizes the following elements
without authorization: low resolution, high compression, color offset,
overexposure, amateur composition, intentional vacancy or occlusion,
artificial light source, strong color contrast, inexplicable text.
Among them, low resolution is absolutely necessary, and other items
are disposable. Some people will definitely ask: What is art based on
this kind of garbage?
Many people will think that the strange core is horrible, but not
necessarily. Sometimes it can evoke people's memories of childhood and
dreams, thus giving people a sense of comfort and nostalgia.
