“SCREENED”

“We may debate whether our society is a society of spectacle or of simulation, but, undoubtedly, it is the society of a screen.” Lev Manovich, “An Archaeology of a Computer Screen”

“As we spend more of our time staring into the frames of movies, television, computers, hand-held displays – “windows” full of moving images, text, icons, and 3-D graphics – how the world is framed may be as important as what is contained within that frame.” Anne Friedberg, “The Virtual Window: From Alberti to Microsoft”

“The screen is not simply an enduring technique or evocative metaphor; it is a hardware object whose transformations have shaped the material conditions of our visual culture.”  Jacob Gaboury, “Image Objects: An Archaeology of Computer Graphics”

The above statements are reference points as to my capturing images expressing the vast transformation of our everyday worlds. As stated in an infinite number of research resources, digital technologies developed during the last few decades have had a tremendous impact. Could humankind be creating an entirely new environment allowing for non-human entities to create their own ideas and art.
