Abstract
The act of observing is imbedded in the daily routine of contemporary culture. A shift has occurred in our relationship with images; from a semi-annual flick through the old family photo album, to a social media binge during the work lunch break. Tuna sandwich in one hand and a device in the other, 30 minutes can pass by as we trawl through a mass of images, hyperlinks in bios, news updates, memes, GIFS featuring flying pepperoni pizza slices and advertisements. Despite this change in the rate of consumption, and apparent material qualities, the digital screen still produces a similar effect to the photographic image.
