Mediated: How the Media Shapes Your World
1 year ago
A teaser/test reel for a project we are developing based on the words and work of Professor Thomas De Zengotita.
Influenced by the media-inspired "culture of performance," we now live our lives as if we are performers practicing method acting. We go through the motions of expected reactions to everything from the 9/11 terrorist attacks to Princess Diana's death. The Internet, satellite television, and a host of technological products and services now give us the impression of participating in current and historical events to such an extent that we can barely distinguish the real from unreal.
