What You Can’t Afford to (Un)See: Technological Bias & Resolving Capacity

The tendency of most virtual propaganda is to mimic life by creating a seamless, natural flow of curated experiences. In this personal, commodified space, the user is most susceptible to ideas and suggestions. No one is immune to propaganda, especially when we are submerged in the subliminal through our very means of accessing information. Here, belief systems are capitalized through the commodification of desire and will. When reality is enhanced by artificial augmentation, we must look closer than ever to perceive the broader picture. We now inhabit a reality where the resolution of fabricated lies exceeds that of the truth. We shatter the screen only when the suspension of (dis)belief is disrupted through a visual realization that exceeds the resolving capacity of the devices we use to digest evidence.
