Where is the Future now?

Behind the glitter of spectacular distractions, a tendency toward banalization dominates modern society the world over, even where the more advanced forms of commodity consumption have seemingly multiplied the variety of roles and objects to choose from. The vestiges of religion and of the family, along with the vestiges of moral repression imposed by those two institutions, can be blended with ostentatious pretensions of worldly gratification precisely because life in this particular world remains repressive and offers nothing but pseudo-gratifications. Complacent acceptance of the status quo may also coexist with purely spectacular rebelliousness — dissatisfaction itself becomes a commodity as soon as the economy of abundance develops the capacity to process that particular raw material.

Referencing Monty Python Title Sequence



Been considering creating one action - animation for the illustrations, single level interaction, an element of play.
One form, to reveal another is also another option im thinking of. A box within a box within a box. One image zooms in to the next to then reveal another.
Matt suggested i look at Monty Python and its quite a good reference.. although form and format of presentation is still a big question mark!
