This project explores the relationship between a culture and its technology, juxtaposing the inherent fear of new technology with the contradicting impulse of a society to push for technological advancement.

The Act of Surrender by Alan Watts
-----------------------------------
Life is a never-ending or infinite process.
Inception: the beginning or origin of a process.
'Obsolescence' never meant the end of anything, it's just the beginning.
i.e. The inception of conception, or abstract conceptual thought:
Writing made speech "obsolete", just as printing made writing "obsolete".
Phonetic culture endowed man the means of repressing their feelings and emotions when engaged in action. To act without reacting, without involvement, is the peculiar advantage of Western literate man. Oral cultures - including those of the traditional oriental East - act and react simultaneously.

Come in and watch as the stage begins decoding into the digital hemisphere. 'decode stage' is a video about the phenomena of new media on society. All too often we lose sight of the essence of the medium itself through the flood of content.
The artwork brings current media into the context of Marshall McLuhens' theory of new media of the past. The samples of McLuhens iconic sentences were made long before the time of the internet. But the timeless statements of his general media theory still fit too well with the social characteristics of today.

-----------------------------------------
Shakespeare as sub-plot: McLuhan's family life completes an 'emotion of multitude' King Lear style, allowing for a juxtaposed media analysis: contrasting the introduction of the printing press in Shakespeare's time to its obsolescence in McLuhan's time.
Shakespeare's play, The Tempest, enhances our insights into the impacts of media and technology in the times leading up to and including those of Shakespeare. The impact of science and technology as represented by the book learning of Prospero and its flip into the prosperity and global reach of Elizabethan England is described. The press and many other mechanical devices were improving the quality of life in Shakespeare’s time. Ocean sailing ships revealed “a brave new world” across the ocean and made the riches of the whole globe available. Science also expanded the view of the universe into outer space and showed that the world was governed by mathematical precision that allowed humankind to begin to control their environment. The Tempest reflects these changes in the allegoric space of Prospero’s island. Prospero represents learning and the magic of science whereas his antagonist Caliban represents untamed nature.
From the perspective of McLuhan’s Laws of Media with its concern with enhancement, obsolescence, retrieval and flip or reversal. Just as Prospero self-obsolesced his powers as a wizard McLuhan obsolesces the content analysis of his academic predecessors.

"Acceptance of change is the doctrine of the world as the void."
This piece seeks to talk about the life-death duality. To see death not as something that comes suddenly, but as something that happens every day since we are born.
