NOTES ON THE CITIZEN
Are we biologically prepared to differentiate memories of what is real from mediated images - simulations of what might, conceivably, be remembered?
If not, what are we liable for? And what is our best defense against what seems so real but is in fact only series of elaborate castings of light that merely re-mind us of something we actually do know?
The fact of this confusion is easily exploited by an overpowered advertising system that drives the naive meta-narratives of our society.
Note: The true version of this piece is interactive: the viewer plays a role in the progress of the scenes. It is impractical to present the piece as such in this setting as the download times are too long. Presented are the sentiments associated with the early scenes from the piece as well as its major premises.
