In New Celebrity we talk about the faces that rise to the top on TikTok, and how Instagram algorithms encourage the stealing of facial structures. What does it mean to not recognise ourselves in the front-facing camera? We discuss why “aesthetic flattening” has been the vibe of the pandemic. Plus, we talk about why this is the age of the collab, and we explain the history of Smiley faces, Mickey Mouse, and the uncanny "mountain".
