For Project 1 I made a digital collage using images from my home. My goal for this project was to depict a familiar place in an unfamiliar way. I’m also interested in the way homes construct the world around the people who live in them. This project made me think about what reality is and how people perceive their environments.
I chose to make a digital collage because I wanted to use new media in a way that interacts with my environment. In this project I used Photoshop to layer and manipulate the images of my home environment. I’ve heard others question if the use of technology has disconnected us from reality. With this project I was able to look deeper into the world around me and notice details I didn’t notice before. In this way I used technology to connect with my environment and question my perception of reality.
Each person perceives the world in a different way. If all of my classmates were to make a collage of their home, no two would be alike. I created a different reality using images of the things I see every day.
