Create post

c/Sizz is a place to share and discuss Sizz culture and aesthetics. We wish to share our enthusiasm of the art as well as foster critical analysis.

What is the Sizz Culture?

Sizz is defined not by a set of specific rules, but by an “ethos” - composition is valued over technique, experimentation over purity, and feeling over formula. A sort of combination of the German expressionist method of abstraction to build a sense of mood, the emotion created by contrast and lighting in American film noir, and the way the Japanese are-bure-bokeh street photography movement embraces griminess and lack of focus in its snapshots. The term “sizz” is intended as onomatopoeia to simulate the sound of noise - according to Merriam-Webster, the word “sizz” means “to hiss or move with a hissing sound.”

Read more about it here or here where the original creator explains it.
