Based on different works in video, the paper focuses in discussing the sense of alienation between people in the metropolis. When the ways of transporting media become open, fluent and rapid changing, the old concept as “stability” and “eternity” were passed. And through of the fast and easy resource-sharing networks, life becomes more convenient undoubtedly. According to the sense of instant reading, the paper uses the videos in mobile device to probe into the communicating ways of modern people. From the old face-to- face communication to using media for exchanging messages, the real voice changes into the visual language like pictures and written words.
In the beginning, the paper starts from the forming- process of the structure of modern people by the thoughts of Immanuel Kant. On the basis of his idea that people have the will to depart from their own place, the metropolis would form as an area for these flowing people. And being converted from their own places, the paper would talk about the connection between the self and others’ behaviors. Moreover, from the analysis, it would discuss the self-position in the interpersonal relationships and the changeable characteristics of human being. Besides, the individualism that causes the self-center life style is an important issue as well. The indifferent alienations make a huge gap between each-others in the metropolis, and the growing distance builds every person a lonely island. They live in their own world without getting in touch with strangers. The silent life style gives the protective coloration and forms the secret self-space that everyone is totally alone in the city.
And for the creative form of expression, those mobile device cameras replace the traditional photography tools. Therefore, they can make good use of its conveniences to record the daily observations of different relationships. The rough works substitute for the delicate ones that they are getting closer to the real life. Through those videos of mobile device, we cannot only discuss the relationships but also the indifferent phenomenon. In addition, in contrast of traffic chaos, the independent self-spaces in the public transportation system strengthen the contradiction. These topics can be seen in this series of work.
