Ideas For Phase 2

My main idea of phase 1 is to question the audience about the intersection of art and technology, I want to carry this idea through to my phase 2 project by asking the viewers the following questions:

- Is the audience really passive? Or can they judge and reflect about the media they see?

- Can the audience differentiate between what is real and what is fake shown in television?

- Can the audience differentiate between what is entertainment and what is serious?

- Does technology aid or degrades arts and ideas i.e.) through plagiarism?

- Are we being shown the truth, or only fragments of it?

- Are popular cartoons just moving images, or can it have a deeper meaning?

I plan to touch on the ideas above by replacing the on-site footage of a news program with entertainment sources such as cartoons, movies, and drama that are similar from the reported incident. This will force differentiation upon the audience about the two opposite sources and question them about what we are shown on television and film.
