SENSELESS - THE ONLINE ENVIRONMENT
The suffocation of late 20th century consumer environment has yielded to the mirage of a techno-cultural oasis. The opportunity to consume is limitless .Value is redefined by convenience. Consumption is time based.
The internet presents an electronic navigational environment for communication. The language of this environment is installed with a digital dialect. Its channels are filled with not water, but optic fibers, along which the corporate pirates navigate and pursue trade. Capital incentive is hence the colonist for economic expansion. Communcation strength is determined by the length and breadth of these linkages. Specialized trading points remain supply depots for bata and exchange. Information is hence a commodity, sought by the hapless navigator.
"Senseless" represents the lack of subtle sensory application within this catacomb of late twentieth century media technology. The inter-reactive collapse of media and method - with sensory overload.
See without Looking
Looking without seeing
Hear without Listening
Listening without hearing
Smell without Sensing
Sensing without smelling
Touch without Feeling
Feeling without touching
Taste without Savouring
Savouring without tasting
