GMU:Hallucinating computers and dreaming non-machines/David Frommhold

This Image Selection touches on the idea of truth, collective memorie and object oriented visualization methods in an image based world. It is a contiuation of previous works, that ask questions of the displayability of images, object memory and shared interpersonal narratives such as folklore, family matters and concepts like history is written by the victors.

In this respect, i see images as autonomous agents that carry meaning, purpose and intrinsic/deep truth. It is important to me, not to confuse truth with fact. Fact as data based information is superficial and truth is something deeper.
