The Meaning of Private Space as Media Representation in Rans Entertainment Vlog

Abstract

—The development of information technology today brings significant life changes. The emergence of a new profession that has not been taken into account has made Vlog a medium for entertainment and new information for the public. The content displayed to the public also varies, including vlogger activity in private spaces such as bathrooms and bedrooms. This can be seen from the Rans Entertainment vlog, which displays activities made into content with the arrangement of their personal space. Private spaces that were once taboo to be displayed in public are now commonplace, especially in this digital era. This paper describes the meaning of public and private space in the digital world by looking at the representation of private space through the Rans Entertainment vlog. The results show that for artists, the boundaries between public and private spaces are getting wider. The priority of content interests makes the meaning and function of public space wider. Even though it is considered taboo, showing the private space of these celebrities has benefited from a social and economic side. Private space is no longer seen from its functions and uses, but it captures their daily activities when the camera is not there.
