Inspired by theorist Guy Debord’s 1967 book Society of the Spectacle, this talk will examine the paradox of our hyper-connected yet isolating world. Through works spanning from the Industrial Revolution to the digital age, the exhibition questions how technology and capitalism have transformed visibility into a commodity, promoting exposure over authentic interaction, and invites viewers to reflect on what may be lost in a world where connection is abundant, yet true presence remains elusive.
