STATEMENT

The Motorisation of Perspective

In the advertising campaign for its video recorders, JVC has launched the motto Music for Your Eyes. The music clip used to be called Augenmusic des Films. Video, film, architecture and the advancement of multimedia PC hardware will radically change our perspective. Our environment and our bodies are merging with the artificial environment of the media, machines and digital networks. In the media space of the future you will always be in the picture.
