DEPENDENCE.WIKI.LEAKS

Source- The guardian, 05.02.2011

Trust in the our current life stayle. Disobay these warning sighns that tell us that we our putting out trust in un trustworthy sources. A degree of seporation, at least a degrey of aurtonomy means the individal can seporate his or herself from the influences of underling and invisible threats and ties.

Wiki leaks to a point proves are lack of understanding of the dimensions and size of the underlining actions and controls powers have over what we do and what we hear.

I am proposing that for surcrity and controle a degree of seporation from these influence is required.

The themes being explored in project 3 combat this- autonomy, trust in a master craftsman (a face), the responsible use of technology and simplicity.

extract from Fast Future
"The implication of these projected developments and trends is that the demands on science and technology are only like to increase over the period. For those working in these fields, the expectation should be for more public scrutiny of their work, greater accountability and a constant need to demonstrate the economic and social benefits of the particular field of science and technology being pursued."

Red Morning Trouble shows the artists in contemplative attitudes with red and black panels showing reflections in the river and buildings along London's river bank. It is a picture of ordinariness, with the shirt-sleeved artists resembling city workers ready to step out into stress and anxt. i think this pice and Are you Angry. represent the pressures i have high lighted in the text. i think the pieces create an interesting starting point for an investigation
