This project reflects on the discipline of the senses in the hegemonic narrative of the media through a participatory writing installation. Images are recontextualized through constant editing, and the nature of the image is determined by the text. Painting, as a subjective way of reproducing things, is a selective presentation. I collect historically representative and controversial images and play them on the screen in real time. The viewer puts his hand into the glove, and the machine guides the viewer's hand to write the interpretation of the image.
Through this project, we will think about the discipline and shaping of our perception by the media.
