Native Resolution

shatter the screen

this refracted truth
is divisible
by the native resolution

some ways are enlightened
in this distorted reality

conscious and willing
to participate
in this fabricated experience

do tell
who owns all of this

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

The tendencies for most virtual propaganda is to mimic life by creating a seamless, natural flow of curated experiences. It is in this subliminal space that the user is most susceptible, most vulnerable to ideas and suggestions. When entering this space, the user is entering a curated domain in which belief systems are capitalized through the commodification of desire and will. The screen of this invisible propaganda however, can be shattered upon the realization of a distorted suspension of (dis)belief through a phenomenon that exceeds the resolving capacity of the devices we use. Sometimes we have to see smaller than small in order to perceive the bigger picture.
