Anti Dogmatic Slot Machines

220/170Cm canvas using Nail Varnish and Aluminum colors.
Unlike the organic human, for whom the evolutionary process takes place so slowly that is barely perceptible. Technology is undergoing immense changes in ever decreasing time units.The speed, accuracy and enormous saving in energy created by electromagnetic and biotechnology. Cause vast socio-economic changes, and in fact debunk cognitive dogmas.
Like a cave painter going out into nature I look around me and document the changes.
All old forms of hierarchy, organization, order, composition, are changing because of technological development. There is no hierarchy on the Internet, no gender, color, education, religion, age, or name, there are only digital bytes. Take it or leave it. go for it, or ignore it.
Fake News, Fake Views It’s your decision and your responsibility.
Fears of intrusion by data bases into private domain, and “the new world order” are all part of the dogma breaking slot machines serie.

Fake Views

2017, and the language is Orwellian Newspeak. Lies and manipulations empty values from their meaning. Ignorance = Power, Hatred = Political Capital, and War = Hope.
Fake Views is a response to Fake News, "Alternative Truths" = lies propagated in the media by political and economic interests in order to influence the consciousness of the masses and to raise wealth, status and hierarchy.
The series combines photographs of Israel's landscapes from family trips along the Israel Trail taken from the smartphone camera and a DSLR camera, with the use of photography databases on the web, graphic and other images that were processed on the computer in order to create a document that will reveal the true nature of the hidden landscape.
The images, most of them in proportions 16/9 like television screens framed in exaggerated gold frames.
This combination of extroverted wealth, lies, superstitions, obsessive power, media and politics are the spirit of time, the new realism that the series expresses
