Post #7- Alternate media

 Alternate Media 

I found the way Caroline tied street art into a form of alternate media and explained how it was a way of expressing different ways of gathering opinions ons and topics in current society fascinating. Anyone can write a blog post, write into a newspaper, send into a magazine but it take a true poet to express feelings through art and have the message be understood also.

So what exactly is alternate media? Alternative media is any form of media that is NOT related to mainstream media. Alternate media is opinion based and not extremely credible but offer unique insight into the minds of minorities when it comes to a certain topic. All opinions ons need to be heard and deserve to be heard and i think street art is a insanely cool way of going about hearing the opinions of people and all diffrent types of voices and using the art to translate what you think it means into a new way of thinking all from basically just graffiti.

Some times I think the more vague  the art is the more influential it can be. Giving a peice of art room to grow in your audiences mind and have them develop their own opinions, which I think is the whole point of alternative media as a whole. The more diffrent voices that can be heard the many different sides to political decision all the middle ground in main stream media needs be spoken and needs to be heard so people can make decisions based on facts and opinions from all angles not just what the big guys are telling us to hear. I think street art dose that in a way no other alternative media can

The Lake Norman Gym Rat

 The It al ian  gym rat So who am I? I am CJ Vagnone, a 6 foot tall, 190 pound Italian from Cornelius North Carolina. I live on Lake Norman. I fully embrace the lake life and don't know what I would do with out it. Even with how awful  and fake 90% of my high school and the people who came out of it were, I wouldn’t change where I lived or my upbringing because of the lessons I learned at a young age. I think just  being on the water alone has something to do with not wanting to be anywhere else though apart for the life lessons.

Lastly, my main hobby is powerlift
