Watchmen meets McLuhan
“Observation:
Multi-screen viewing engages me like the kinetic equivalent of an abstract or impressionist painting…Words and images evade rational analysis, allowing subliminal hints of the future to leak through…Transient and elusive, these must be grasped quickly: computer animations imbue even breakfast cereals with an hallucinogenic futury; music channels process informational-blips, avoiding linear presentation, implying limitless personal choice…

Observation ends.”
