Once we have surrendered our senses and nervous systems to the private manipulation of those who would try to benefit from taking a lease on our eyes and ears and nerves, we don’t really have any rights left. -- Marshall McLuhan, Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man 1964
As an experiment, one that was easy at the time since we'd just started traveling, in 2017 I stopped watching all forms of visual media. In the time since I have allowed myself to watch a few short instructional videos (e.g., engine repair, 18th century cooking, sailing), but by and large I continue to avoid visual media.
Interestingly, in the same time I became interested in creating short form visual media myself.
