THE SUITABILITY OF SPECTACLE FRAMES...FOR THE ARCHITECTURAL CRITIC IN THE AGE OF NEW MEDIA
The advent of New Media in a vastly satellite-based society has given the scope for a Collective. But such is the scale of its vastness today that only the anonymity of its component individuals can make for an identity as a Collective Whole. The result... is an objectified knowledge base not viable of its subjective authenticity.
Today, the increasing number of objectified works of architecture and likewise their representations are alienating the perceptive subject and thus the inherent critic as well in respect, from the object. The plight of this phenomenon has spread a ‘Cataract’ of uncertainty in our opinion making.
The thin film of obscurity over our perceptive capacity needs a set of Suitable Spectacle Frames of our own accord, with its suitability judged of course, not by the eyesight but by the insight. The choice maybe made by the virtue of how one wants to see and not necessarily by what a Collective says it can see.
Therefore, we may not deny that, how we criticise is only as important as what is being criticised. Then, one may choose his spectacle frames by a make that is duly suitable to him.
