A blog dedicated to art and design.

In Kate Mondloch’s chapter “Installing Time” Mondloch expresses the importance of how viewers interact with a piece of art; more importantly with media screens. She explains how there is a major shift in how a person views a screen when it is taken out of everyday context and placed in an installation piece. The way we see something outside of an art gallery effects the way we view it in a gallery. I think as viewers we must try and separate ourselves from that association that we have with mass media technologies and try to see them in a new light. We need to think more profoundly about ways we interact with media screens, both in everyday life and in contemporary art whether it be a laptop screen, smart phone screen, or even ipod screen.
