Bow A4: Research, narrative is repressed

This column has some complex problems but the overwhelming message is about narratives re. the current ‘dystopia’ existing beneath/behind the status quo, and about ‘power’ maintaining the illusion all is fine.

All is most certainly not fine. And my own work does not go remotely far enough to explore / express this. At the moment, it feels like bumps of growth beneath the surface that have yet to break through. I have work to do/make and will try to keep this energy focused on that rather than say more here. (i.e. Show, don’t tell) but the article posted here certainly encapsulates something pertinent – although anyone mistakenly thinking it’s just about the film industry rather than a more widely applicable general blindness (refusal to see) amongst white middle-class people is mistaken.

  1. You are chipping away at it though. The app you linked to on Twitter is such good a example in its small way. I couldn’t believe how it was controlling my input; at first I was amused but then disturbed about the implications.
