Immersion

Stumbled across this on one of my many wanderings down the back of the internet.
Robbie Cooper is an interactive artist. His exhibition ‘Immersion’ explores the changing relationship between humans, screens, identity and image. Inspired by watching teenagers absorbed in computer games in Chinese internet cafés, Cooper’s portraits capture everyday people as they become immersed in different types of media. Shooting through the screen, these images are single frames taken from high-definition video footage. Filming long periods of video helps Cooper’s models to forget they’re being photographed and results in natural moments of unguarded behaviour.

This is really interesting.
People of the screen as a category, digging deeper on how technology is changing people's perceptions and priorities.

Great post!
