Artunio Talks 3: Is the Environment on Social Media Ridiculous? | Timotej Vrab

Is the overall environment on social media just absurd? Is it appropriate to place art next to irrelevant content such as pets, pranks and political correctness? But that herein lies the problem we face when squaring up to mass content on platforms that treat us not as the content itself, but the product in which to profit off from. The reality is, we cannot expect social media to change. We need to assume accountability and build a new one that is designed for art and artists with conditions that are beneficial for the whole community. Listen, isn’t it always better to build your own house than to live under the restrictions of someone else's?

Welcome to a brand new mini series covering our proposed launch of an up and coming digital space, suite of professional tools and dedicated ecosystem for the arts and culture - Artunio. Throughout the next four episodes, join me and Timotej Vrab as we look into the core issues of mainstream social media and how Artunio presents itself not only as an alternative, but a collective movement hoping to change the landscape once and for all.

It's time to take back your creativity, artistic freedom and control of career choices by changing the way your art is produced, shared and valued!

Timothej Vrab

Videographer / Drummer / Entrepreneur

My name is Timotej Vráb. I come from Slovakia. I am enthusiastic about the arts, tech and startups. I´ve been active in the art space since my childhood. Starting with performances as an actor at primary school at the age of 8 and drummer in highschool at the age of 15.

I've studied acting at University of Performing arts in Bratislava for one year. After I quit my university journey, I´ve started working as a freelance video creator with most of the projects focused on concerts, performances and events.

After working in the art industry for a few years I realized that with my skills, I can have a positive impact on the whole art and culture community around the world. That is my current goal and full time occupation - founder of Artunio.
