About

Avatar The Whole World's a Stage

When we put satellites around the planet Darwinian nature ended. The earth became an artform subject to the same programming as media networks and their environments. The entire evolutionary process shifted...from biology to technology. Evolution became not an involuntary response of organisms to new conditions but part of the consensus of human consciousness. - McLuhan
