The idea for these photographs came from reading the book 'The Language of New Media'. I was interested by the opening quote by Manvich commenting on how technology is embraced by the western world.

"A western artist sees the Internet as a perfect tool to break down all heirarchies and bring art to the people. in contrast...i cannot but see how the internet as a communal apartment of the Stalin era: no privacy, everybody spies on everybody else, always present are the lines for common areas such as the toilet or kitchen"

This got me thinking about how many devices are around the home, and also about the environmental debate that is in the public mind recently.
