Instagram Lie — Blind Vlogger

Instagram 谎言——盲人博主

A short film questioning whether we live inside social media's bubble, seeing only a curated fragment instead of the full picture.

一部短片,探讨我们是否活在社交媒体的泡沫中,只看到被筛选过的片面,而非事实的全部。


2021Umeå, SwedenVideo / Interaction DesignPersonal Project


Created during a Photography & Narrative course in the Interaction Design master's program at Umeå Institute of Design, Sweden.

The project takes the form of a short film that follows a blind vlogger navigating social media.

It asks: in a world shaped by curated feeds and algorithmic bubbles, are we all — in some way — seeing with our eyes closed?

这是在瑞典于默奥设计学院交互设计硕士项目的「摄影与叙事」课程中完成的个人作业。

项目以短片的形式,讲述了一位盲人视频博主使用社交媒体的故事。

它提出了一个问题:在被算法推荐和信息茧房塑造的世界里,我们是否都在某种程度上闭着眼睛看世界?


Concept ↓

Social media platforms show us what they think we want to see — not what is real.

We scroll through highlight reels, filtered images, and carefully constructed narratives, mistaking a curated slice for the whole truth.

The blind vlogger becomes a metaphor: someone who cannot see the images, yet participates fully in a visual platform.

The irony is that sighted users may be equally blind — unable to see past the surface of what is presented to them.

社交媒体平台向我们展示它们认为我们想看到的内容——而不是真实的世界。

我们刷着精心挑选的片段、滤镜修饰的图片和精心构建的叙事,把被筛选过的一面误认为全部真相。

盲人博主成为了一个隐喻:一个看不见图像的人,却充分参与着一个以视觉为核心的平台。

讽刺的是,视力正常的用户可能同样是盲目的——无法看穿呈现在他们面前的表象。
