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.

Sketching ideas









There are various routes im exploring.

Is the installation a single experience that sums up my content in nutshell?
Is it a constructed narrative that the viewer can walk through?
Is it completely screen based with ineteractivity?
Is interactivity necessary at all?
Can i get the viewer to generate content and play it back to them in the exhibit?
What are the various permitation combinations i can work with?

Exploring various forms that can best represent my content.
