About the project 1

For this project, I'm not worrying too much about the technical approach, so far the concept is the major issue.  


Links to some articles may help me to develop the concept:

Some Quotes may be applied to this project:

"Working back and forth will influence your thinking in both spheres and, undoubtedly, cause you to ask new questions of your work in the traditional medium as well as to look for ways to do new things with technology."

"Affluence creates poverty. "

"The medium is the message."

-the medium is the message. This is merely to say that the personal and social consequences of any medium - that is, of any extension of ourselves - result from the new scale that is introduced into our affairs by each extension of ourselves, or by any new technology.  

"Art is anything you can get away with."

"Publication is a self-invasion of privacy. "

"We become what we behold. We shape our tools and then our tools shape us."

"Darkness is to space what silence is to sound, i.e., the interval." 

"All media exist to invest our lives with artificial perceptions and arbitrary values. "

"As technology advances, it reverses the characteristics of every situation again and again. The age of automation is going to be the age of 'do it yourself.'

Marshall McLuhan


"Technology, like art, is a soaring exercise of the human imagination. "

Daniel Bell
