Yet more problems with technology, and yet, the advanced ? common world ? persists into a digital/ unaccountable era.., I deal, face to face first, and virtual world can follow gradually as i learn about it. the lack of face to face interaction is actually not the best thing, for we, as humans are a social species, and the effects of a developing digital reliance are already being felt.
“The Village Effect” written by Susan Pinker, is a new book which discusses this subject. What ‘the village effect’ shows, in a nutshell is that ” We’re lonelier and unhappier than we were in the decades before the internet age “. Life online goes against human nature , providing only a thin fake version of real contact, real life. My question is, how will this affect ART ? Will we see more or less, and how will it affect the subject/material and mediums used in our future.
