When you open Instagram, TikTok und co you are surrounded by a never ending number of similar looking short videos. They convey different topics, perspectives and opinions but have similar appearance because they use the same audio track or meme reference a.s.o.. So they seem to have the same structure, but may contain political messages as well as trivial feel-good content; Putin propaganda as well as opinions about the new Spider-man movie. So different feeds in different persons bubbles will look superficially viewed very similar. Nearly all of these videos are made for short attention and are following a kind of trend, which defines the structure. I suppose this effect of conformity is caused by the recommendation algorithm. Creators may even know that and adapt their contents to these criteria. At least our viewing patterns are already adjusted. | When you open Instagram, TikTok und co you are surrounded by a never ending number of similar looking short videos.

These structures, characterised by similarity, are at the same time repetitive in a replicating way, but also in an inspiring and variation creating way. I think it has the potential to set new contexts, connect and show various perspectives. But stuck in our bubbles, we may not recognize that. | These structures, characterised by similarity, are at the same time repetitive in a replicating way, but also in an inspiring and variation creating way.
