How addicted are you to your cell phone? The real answer may surprise you. “Removed” is an awesome. Removes phones and other digital devices from photos and as a result presents an entirely new photo—one that shows how much we are missing out on everyday moments all because of technology.
It’s a sad sounding scene but one encountered on a regular basis. It’s not uncommon to see groups of people hanging out without any real interaction because everyone is looking at their phones.
“Despite the obvious benefits that these advances in technology have contributed to society, the social and physical implications are slowly revealing themselves.”
“I’m not attempting to tell others what to do with their time, I’m just hopefully offering up a moment of realization.”
“I just personally need the reminder to put it down because it is an addiction.”
“In similar ways that photography transformed the lived experience into the photographable, performable, and reproducible experience…”
“…personal devices are shifting behaviors while simultaneously blending into the landscape by taking form as being one with the body.”
“This phantom limb is used as a way of signaling busyness and unapproachability to strangers while existing as an addictive force that promotes the splitting of attention between those who are physically with you and those who are not.”
