The Modern Man

2009

 

The convenience of technology has let us become more self-sufficient, but how is that altering our way of life? The Modern Man comments on this change in culture towards an over-reliance on technology. Within the video, the shifting frames present the space as much larger than it is, similar to how technology gives us a false sense of inclusion while we remain in physical isolation. Repetition and order is used within the frames sequence to situate the use of technology into a routine and to magnify its mundane aspects.
