Watch this The Society of the Spectacle Pt 1

which is based on the book The Society of the Spectacle by the French writer Guy Dubord. While not exactly the same as the idea of the Matrix of the Image, what he called the Spectacle is quite relevant to many of the ideas presented in this course. What do you think about the idea of the Spectacle? Are we, as the video suggests, living in a completely false reality, only driven by the desire for needing things we do not have? Do you feel manipulated by the media, the news, the web? What do you see as the relationship between Plato's Allegory of the Cave, the movie The Matrix, and Dubord's Society of the Spectacle?
