They will never realise im coming by Nicholas Wright

The broadcast media obsessed world in which we live, provides me with my subject matter. I am currently investigating how we, as consumers, are cajoled and encouraged to buy things we really don’t need. However, it is suggested that we cannot survive without these products and services. We are manipulated and influenced to make choices that ordinarily we would consider ridiculous. My work is a vehicle of my concern for the power and lack of regulation that the multi-national companies show for us as citizens. Promotion campaigns, sales initiatives, the ‘must-haves’ and the B.O.G.O.F.’s are, at best, vestiges of an unscrupulous and capitalist global economy that will stop at nothing to sell us something. All neatly packaged and clinically delivered into our living rooms, our mutual consciousness, via the trusty television set.
