Screenness

image of Screenness

The primary condition of the wall, and the spaces they traditionally enclose, once the solid spatial boundary of architecture and the city, through the influence of media and particularly the screen, have slowly dissolved into a state of what could be termed as “screenness.” The effects are twofold: first, architects were influenced by the screen and the screen apparatus to produce new screen-like architectural surface and space. Second, our constant exposure to screens in all their mutations has likely changed our spatial and surface conditioning so we experience surface, space, objects, and the city in different ways.
