For a limited time only

Abstract

The thesis exhibition, For a Limited Time Only, provides a review of modern day survival. By creating a historical lineage that traces a line from early evolution to modern technological developments, the audience may begin to understand how we have arrived at our present-day social framework. The exhibition is not meant to answer any questions, or evoke a specific emotional response; it is only meant to expose connections and encourage a dialogue around our social norms and tendencies. We live in a fast moving world driven by media, information and communication. We are so removed from the forces that originally shaped our methods for decision making that we have stopped questioning what we are progressing towards.
