Going for the book

Computer Generated Culture has become a major influence in all aspects of art and design. Photography is of course no exception to these changes. The introduction of Digital Cameras and Smart Phones has made the aspects of Photography easily obtainable for almost everyone as well as the creation of Editing Software such as Photoshop. With the aid of computers we have become adjusted to amazing images being easy to create out of thin air rather than actually going outside and looking for a breathtaking sight. The effort of capturing the surreal has become a waste of time as now anyone can just point any camera anywhere and use such editing software as Photoshop to create their ideal image of the world around them.

This Project was my way of gathering such information in order to explain and compare the views other people have of the world by allowing them to edit an image of a natural wonder in any way they saw fit. By doing so I hoped to express what the developments that computer generated culture has done to our values and expectations about the world around us and how easy it has become to change our reality into our own personal ideal view.
