Episode 32 Pixels versus Pigment
Manage episode 163933812 series 1179648
Pixels and technology have inundated our lives. Charles Baudelaire said that urban living or the city was "an immense reservoir of electric energy." in his essay "The Painter of Modern Life" (1863). In the rise of industrialisation and mechanisation, "the eye was never allowed to rest." (Geiger, Rutsky, 2005) The same anxieties felt in the fin du siècle are mirrored in the Twenty-First Century whenever we talk about technology. Bombarded by pixels and movies, video games, apps, memes, pinterest images and instagram, the pixel is ubiquitous. Mark and I are still on that topic!! Join in, anytime you feel!
