Liminal Space (aesthetic)
In Internet aesthetics, liminal spaces are empty or abandoned places that appear eerie, forlorn, and often surreal. Liminal spaces are commonly places of transition, pertaining to the concept of liminality. Research from the ''Journal of Environmental Psychology'' has indicated that liminal spaces may appear eerie or strange because they fall into an uncanny valley of architecture and physical places. An article from ''Pulse: The Journal of Science and Culture'' has attributed this eeriness to familiar places lacking their usually observed context. A pillar of liminal spaces is the absence of living things, particularly other people, with the implication that the viewer is alone; this lack of presence is characteristic of spaces that are "liminal in a temporal way, that occupy a space between use and disuse, past and present, transitioning from one identity to another." The aesthetic gained popularity in 2019 after a post on 4chan depicting a liminal space called the Backrooms ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
