Neon Slang Installations

Dylan Neuwirth Illuminates the Power of Internet Slang

— August 29, 2014 — Art & Design
Seattle-based artist Dylan Neuwirth borrows from the modern-day language of Internet slang for his latest series. His collection of glowing banners illuminate, quite literally, the collective effect the Internet has on the evolution of language.

Like the Internet, Neuwirth refuses to be confined to one region; he wishes to create art that looks like it could come from anywhere. As he explains it, his art strives to be "singular and be synonymous at the same time."

Of course, Neuwirth's installation is only momentarily reflective; the language of the Internet evolves so constantly, continually, that these terms and phrases could be completely obsolete within a month or two. Who knows where Internet could be within the next few years?
Trend Themes
1. Internet Slang Art Installations - Installations that embody the constantly evolving language of the internet through the use of glowing banners, providing an opportunity for artists and business to collaborate on impactful and innovative visual experiences.
2. Synonymous Singular Art - Art that is unique yet has universal resonance, enabling artists to create works that resonate with people from different backgrounds.
3. Dynamic Language Evolution - Exploring the ever-changing nature of language and communication online, illuminating technology's impact on shaping human language and its evolution.
Industry Implications
1. Art - Innovative use of technology in art installations can provide a unique and engaging way for galleries, museums, and other art venues to attract and engage audiences.
2. Advertising and Marketing - The use of internet slang in advertising campaigns and marketing materials can help companies connect with younger audiences while aligning with consumer trends in language and communication.
3. Language Translation and Communication - These art installations can spark discussion about the continued shift of colloquial language and may indicate the need for technology to catch up on the translating and interpreting of newer internet slang.
