Description

This work explores the elaborate relationships of power to how we perceive humanity, construct society and identify ourselves. It compares the religious supremacy of the past with the new authority now wielded by omniscient mobile technology. The divine light used by Christianity in stained glass windows to underline the authority of the sacred image has now been replaced by our devotion to the images on our phone screens in the modern era. The dominating force of mobile technology dictates human behaviour in its ability to constrain and free. It’s ultimate power and authority is comparative to that held by religion a century ago.
