Media Rich and Socially Insulated Urban Landscape
It seems the general theme of the items I carry with me indicate a society in which we immerse ourselves in technology to maintain our connection to the world, yet at the same time we isolate ourselves from the dense social setting we live in by staying disconnected from the sea of people we are constantly surrounded by in our actual physical space. We are trying to interact in a society of thousands when we are more suited to a tribal society of about twenty close knit individuals. As a result we deal with humans as mechanisms of society with whom we do transactions, but shut ourselves off from most of these people emotionally, only reserving friendship and relationships for a select few of the thousands we mingle with over the course of a day.
