Cognizance

«Electric circuitry, an extension of the central nervous system. Media, by altering the environment, evoke in us unique ratios of sense perceptions. The extension of any one sense alters the way we think and act - the way we perceive the world when these ratios change, men change. » —Marshall McLuhan Cognizance is a series of three dimensional collages which explore the effects of altering our known reality. Made from a mix of found imagery and hand-drawn elements, these floating situations capture moments of reassessment in an invisible environment. Oscillating between three worlds—dream, reality, and memory—the subjects are trapped in space and confined by the borders of the page as they transform.
