ALLATONCENESS NEW MEDIA WORK

Monday, March 16, 2015 - 3:00-5:30 PM
Warch Campus Center Cinema

New media projects by 11 ART 240 Digital Processes students responding to Marshall McLuhan’s ideas of the global village from his seminal book The Medium is the Massage. Writes McLuhan, “Ours is a brand-new world of allatonceness. “Time” has ceased, “Space” has vanished. We now live in a global village…a simultaneous happening…we have had to shift our stress of attention from action to reaction.”
