Artist Statement: Response to Heidegger
Artist statement:
My artist statement is a
response to two excerpts I've read from Heidegger. One point the reading makes
is that to a certain degree we should reject technology, but Heidegger is not
totally opposed to technology. I personally agree with that statement because I
am not opposed to technology, but I reject it to a certain extent. The video I
made illustrates the pitfalls and dangers of misuse of technology when we don't
reject it and its grave consequences.
The second response to my
project is a part in the reading when Heidegger says that when you add
something on to something, the original purpose of that something loses its
meaning.
My response in that aspect was
that technology has a lot of great uses, but experiencing things firsthand has
lost its meaning because we can now experience everything through technology.
We are essentially adding
something onto something and in turn, that something (technology) is losing its
original purpose and meaning.
