ART Portrait- stephen scott smith

The Art installation is a 5 channel high definition video, photographic, and animation/morph loop. The project examines the toll of the modern world on the human mind through four slow motion long takes of Oregon landscape and natural sound. The landscapes are juxtaposed with a single stark black and white slow-motion animated self-portrait (seen here) set to a collection of sounds from technology, industry and media.

Are modern lifestyles, filled with cell phones, computers, internet profiles, distractions and self-obsession conduits for anxiety and disorders? Would a submersion into nature or a complete withdraw from the modern world ease the troubled mind?
