Train Boardcasting...
Inspired by the Orient Express, the New Orient Express is a train that can take you to a new visual experience.
Ladies and Gentlmen,
Please board the train, but there is no scenery here, only words.
Using your imagination to imagine the contemporary scenery you can see.
Your eyes don't lie to you, you can see natural scenery, as well as man-made scenery.
Are these landscapes or spectacles. can we imagine them?
Of course, turn on your visual machine,
please note that your visual machine is also creating new wonders.
Countless repeated landscapes, the train passes through it,
and you see more landscapes than more people, because of speed.
Of course, in modern society, there are many descriptions of speed,
but when you are in a short-term vision.
Get your contemporary landscape,
you snap the photo and your heart flies to the landscape.
What is this photo?
We get off the train.
we see the landscape,
we turn on the camera and take a photo,
a standard scenery photo,
a good viewpoint.
Excellent vision,
superb landscape capture technology.
Countless duplicate photos flood our social media,
so why do we want to go to those places to take these photos?
What kind of landscape makes us linger.
And happily repeat this behavior.
As Boris Groys said, with the accelerated speed of communication,
a lot of information flows between information,
appearing shortly, staying shortly,and disappearing shortly.
The illusion created by the landscape makes us feel
like we are in a prison created by modern technology .
After being surrounded by images, imagination will disappear
because we are accustomed to contemporary vision and this normal modern life.
