Getai Kitsch: Reinterpretation of Getai's Aesthetics as a Visual Language for Contemporary Culture. Act 1
Getai, a form of free entertainment for the masses in Singapore, has lately become an art-form that is considered non-progressive and distasteful—in other words, kitsch—among today’s local youth. Getai Kitsch: Reinterpretation of Getai’s Aesthetics as a Visual Language for Contemporary Culture is a study and deconstruction of Getai’s visual forms. It provides designers a starting point to reinterpret these visual forms to fit contemporary design tastes for the consumption of local youth, without compromising on its kitschiness.
Act 1 covers history, personal accounts and interviews to give reader an in-depth understanding of Getai in Singapore and the challenges it has facing.
