Do those who post it know what they&#8217;re saying? We don&#8217;t know because it arrives with little or no context. And #bauhaus in particular! a concept that is all about context and interdisciplinary work, and which sought to weave art and craft into the fabric of everyday life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And yet. And yet. As the article points out, social media has succeeded beyond every expectation in weaving itself into our everyday activities \u2014 without much of the art\/craft, one could say. But new ways of communicating, the memes, the <em>construction<\/em> of meme generators \u2014 many of these are so creative and on-point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the article points out, both the Bauhaus school and the social media companies have attempted to present a neutral face, letting their students\/users take the political stands. It hasn&#8217;t worked out well for Bauhaus or Facebook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article about the resurgence of #bauhaus on social media on the AIGA website caught my interest when it was first published on January 8.
