We are showered by thousands of images a day. Both still and moving. On television, in newspapers, on the internet, in movies, in video games, in magazines, billboard after billboard just driving down the street. Whether to serve the purpose of advertising or simply used to decorate the landscape, we are unaware of how strongly these images affect and shape our views of each other and ourselves. These images appear in our dreams at night and subconsciously influence what we buy, what we believe, and how we act. It can be overwhelming. So we just shut down and take it all in. We absorb it and it becomes part of us.
MEDIA CONTROL is a new visual project by Dope Sick Radio creator Brian James Bush. Very simple in nature. A social statement made up historical and contemporary images of the outlaw nature. Some soft. Some hard. Representing a culture bombarded by information and imagery. Stunning and desensitizing. A society as beautiful as it is ugly. Violent and sensitive. Constantly changing and ever-evolving. Captured forever and only...in a still image.
