categories: | | | |

This project criticizes to all mass media that at the moment controls the conscience of the captive audiences that are given to their dominion by means of simple entertainment and absurd known like trash content that manipulates the way of think and to act of these spectators in different parts from the orb without concerning races, or social conditions. Trough of some images and texts consider several questions that look for answer in nowadays and in introspection of life with an interface similar to the one of the channel of musical and videos programs well known on the planet (and from which we have taken the freedom to parody it) in such a way that the same association of these images and sounds that anyone has seen sometimes in front of a television set with a remote control in hand, it sends to situations that very difficult we can state of testify but in telepresence, because those are who have decided what we do and what we don’t have to know beyond of which appears on screen it shows to us, or wants to show to us at half, so maybe we don’t discover that there is a world there outside and that the reality is not but that banal fiction and distractions.
