Spectacle, The Senses and Surveillance w/ Chris Christou
Season Zero continues with a primer on technology, media ecology and how tourism feeds the dystopic nightmare now upon us.
"Almost everyone is a tourist, which is to say that we have become amateurs and strangers in our own neighborhoods, in part, because the spectacle of modern life and its media has ennobled a way of being in the world and in the neighborhood that is both temporary and seemingly inconsequential." - Chris Christou
