We live in a technology infused want-it-now society. Existing under the assumption that this web based instant world we have created is good for us. People expect everything to be instantaneous, easy to understand and abundantly available. Silence and taking on one task at a time seems to terrify the youth of this generation, myself included. We have forgotten how to play and create, even how to truly appreciate. Our visual and auditory systems are so over stimulated that if we are not hooked within seconds we move on. This applies to music, art, food, relationships and so and so forth. A life of serious contemplation and enjoyment seems to be a thing of a past. I have lost focus. I want to attempt to rewire my contemporary multitasking mind. I am going to focus in one idea that I would normally let slip past.
I want to take a moment to appreciate the fun little visual experiences that can only be found after the sun sets. The shadows and blurred lights that surround us as we travel to-and-fro at night intrigued my new detail oriented perspective. About the lights and shadows that swim past our peripheral vision. This project is about folly and slowing down. It is about appreciation of what the night has to offer.
