Digital Painting - Project #5 Ideas For my digital painting my main idea is going with the "weirdcore" aesthetic which if you're unaware what that is, it is a surreal internet aesthetic that is mostly minimalistic, focusing on conveying core ideas rather than polished aesthetics or interactive features. The aesthetic itself is supposed to evoke feelings of confusion, disorientation, dread, alienation and nostalgia through digitally constructed or edited images that often (not always) depict familiar objects in an uncanny way. This aesthetic is also often associated with the "backrooms" because they're both associated with the liminal space or the liminal horror aesthetic which explores eerie and unfamiliar environments. Below are some examples of the "weirdcore" aesthetic as well as a video that further explains what weirdcore is and where it originates from. Understanding The Meaning of Weirdcore
