One of the assumptions or commentaries being made is that people mostly experience nature through a frame. I’m a bit hesitant about this. I think that you have two ideas, one is about framing nature and the other is how people experience nature.
Yes, I can see that people often experience nature through a frame, like a window or a TV, so then maybe your project expands to frames besides the TV.
Or maybe you want to talk about the relationship between TV and nature, and that particular way of experiencing nature.
I’m sensing a critique about people experiencing nature with TV. One thing to think about is that TV takes people to places they often could never go -even if they wanted to- and that it exposes people to places that you don’t want people to go to -like sensitive habitats. People learn to care about places they’ve never been to. Maybe they care more than about places closer to home?? I don’t know. But I don’t think that its all bad. Not everyone can be outside to enjoy nature, and TV gives them a way to do it.
I must confess that I don’t quite “get” the photo next the video of the footage. I’m also concerned that the footage might be boring? Sometimes I’m dense about these things though. I feel like it could be stronger somehow, but I have no idea how (sorry).
