The Problem with the Influence of the Moving Image in Society Today, the Alter-Modern and the Disappearance of a Focus on the Internal
The Problem with the Influence of the Moving Image in Society Today, The Alter-Modern and the Disappearance of a Focus on the Internal Dr. Cyrus Manasseh c. 2011- 2016 Abstract Since the early twentieth century, civilization’s obsession with the moving image, has helped it to go backwards instead of forwards. Because of the nature of the way moving images are proliferated especially during our present age of digital expansion, the past and the history of the past produce a cultural amnesia which creates a misperception that we are greatly ahead of our past. Much of this is because our continuous fascination with the moving image has undermined and effaced a Modernist reasoning which had been more concerned with searching for an internal depth in objects and things which were reflected in the human being. As a result of our visual thirst for the moving image which takes us away from this, we now live in a situation void of causal reasoning which makes it very easy for very little reason, or difficult, for well-justified reasoning to exist since our thirst and addiction to the moving image has seen a spiritual shift away from the search of internal value and meaning that has been tied to our culture and cultural perceptions. By tracing civilization’s obsession with the Classical which it had once used as a ‘steadying metaphor’ the paper attempts to explain some of the influences that have made us lose our focus on the importance of the internal and offers to explain why we are now more than ever before bereft of a focus for searching for the internal depth that exists within people, objects and things. -

THE FUTURE, TODAY Notes on a Changing World
THE FUTURE, TODAY Notes On A Changing World Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of M. FINE ART (Research) School of Art FACULTY OF THE VICTORIAN COLLEGE OF ARTS AND MUSIC The University of Melbourne KRISHNAMURTI SUPARKA May 2012 Produced on quality archival paper 2 3 ABSTRACT We live in a time where everything, everywhere seems to be happening simultaneously, and indeterminately. Worldwide events expose themselves to us 24/7, from the major issues to the trivial. Sociopolitical unrest, economic instability and natural disasters are part of our everyday, as are the daily updates of some US celebrity or a Burkina Fasoan in Ouagadougou. At the same time, the same technology also adds more diversions – in the form of nonstop entertainment – to lull and ease our anxieties away. The rate in which these come to us is astonishing in acceleration and quantity, and in their stroboscopic appearance, they often leave us in states of confusion and bewilderment. This research is a study on the current age that we live in: an age of confusion, of anxiety, of uncertainty. In examining the symptoms, the exegesis will employ a multidisciplinary approach – from information and social theory, to literary and cultural studies, to contemporary art discourse – primarily to highlight the interdependency of the issue. These are bound via a single framework known as the 'oscillation' – a characteristic of our current condition, where we constantly renegotiate and reorient ourselves (between modernist and postmodernist values, between hope and despair, between reality and illusion and so on) – as formulated by Timotheus Vermeulen and Robin van den Akker.
