THE THINGS OF THE INTERNET

HOW
(do we evaluate objects)? We increasingly evaluate objects through their representation as images circulating on the Internet, which offers a particular set of criteria and circumstances for viewing and for making value judgements. WHAT
A method for selecting and presenting objects as images in a museum. The objects are introduced through video and audio fragments, and on the natural habitat of Internet images: screens.

WHY
Failure to acknowledge the relevance of the image, especially as it circulates on social media, devalues the culture of a generation within the history of visual culture.

QUOTE
Context, the setting and circumstances in which an object exists, determine its value.
