ADAM CURTIS ALL WATCHED OVER BY CHROME BOOK




Chrome Book for everyone: I saw the new advert for the google chrome book lap-top thing. The advert is the same as an Adam Curtis film except exactley the opposite, it uses the same formal/ technical devices to convey the opposite idea. Below are images from curtis' films and the advert and from George A Romero's Dawn of the Dead










The images should be ambiguous while the text is bold and profound.

 
 
 
“You should see all the great stuff we got, Frannie. All kinds of stuff. This place is terrific…It’s perfect…We’ve really got it made here.”
- “It’s so bright and neatly wrapped you don’t see that it’s a prison too.”
Dawn of The Dead 1978
