[distraction of interaction] comment

Distraction of interaction (see previous post) is an accompaniment to the interaction is subtraction instalment. This and distraction of interaction are commentaries on the infrastructure of certain governing systems. The first was a reaction to the lives we lead... like ants scurrying around our cities, with no apparent cause. The idea being, that the more we interact the more we are subtracted from our own goals in life, hence interaction is subtraction. Distraction of interaction is a continuation of this theme, the more we interact the more we are distracted. The key reference in this piece is the use of faded and blurred 'symbols'. Again, 'systems' that give us something to follow. Something to distract us. Are we really leading out the lives we choose, or are we merely led to distraction and subtraction via interaction? Who fucking knows, but it's interesting thinking about it and creating a visual response.
