First devastating societal blow in Late-Modernity
I have been busy these last 4 months making one thousand and twelve digital transformations of painting 2-02 of my 'grand project' series.
The CoronaVirus outbreak that occurred in China in the beginning of January soon locked me down in Beijing and this eliminated the brouhaha of society that helped me to focus on the technicalities of digital imaging.
But the extraordinary nature of the epidemic, and the even more extraordinary nature of the language that was accompanying it, kept me coming back to the web. What impressed me most is that while the epidemic transformed in a pandemic the language in use in the West morphed into virulent propaganda; a sign that the pandemic is somehow radically altering the geo-political balance of power.
My intellectual curiosity was aroused and to get a better grip on the reality I decided that after finishing this series of digital transformations I would restart to write about the societal and geo-political transformations that are taking place under our very eyes.
What follows is a new series of posts that will form, the first draft material of, a 3rd book about our contemporary circumstances.
Book 1 : "A growing disconnect between East and West". Published in 2018-10
Book 2 : "What is going on ? ". Published on the 06th of December 2019.
Book 3 : "A first devastating blow in Late-Modernity".
