With screens becoming more and more dominant in daily life, our experience of the world is both flattened and broadened. Living in densely populated cities many people hardly ever see a horizon anymore. Screens become a place for images that represent morality, love, identity, and experience in general. While digital media play a big part in polarization, they can also serve the purpose of bridging gaps caused by wealth, culture, time and distance, giving limitless possibility for views into a world that is ours, but that we don’t belong to. Because of the overwhelming amount of impressions left on us by our constructed environment, it is at this point a luxury to step back and contemplate, thus the most honest expression of experience is the fastest one, however rough, blunt and unconsidered it may be.
