something that I have been thinking about while traveling...

Devices are becoming more and more integrated into our lives, and our senses are being incorporated into these devices as well. A blink of an eye, a swipe of a finger, these are what control our interactions with technology. The result of these fusions between the senses and their fabricated interfaces is that we become more involved with the technological, digital world. When we are continually engaged with technology, where is our focus? We move through space, but do we truly experience it? When we walk through the park are we really taking in the beauty of the trees or are we fingering the I-phone in our pocket in suspense between incoming e-mail messages? These technologies are creating a situation where our attention is being stretched thin. We become impatient. The immediacy of the internet, compared to the slow, almost invisible movement of the sun as it advances towards the horizon creates a palpable tension as we traverse our highly cluttered environment.
