This psychology test comprises of an imagined walking tour through several themes, in which you are judge by your negotiation of these themes, each one relating to a social component of your being; a forest(perspective on Life), a path in the forest(your growing up and maturity to adult hood), a cup(your childhood), a house(your idea the home), water(your sex life), a bear(your problems), and finally a wall crossing your path(death).
When sitting down to visualize these subjects myself, I found that I was not drawing upon first hand experiences but that of the second hand (manufactured) such as movies, adverts and computer games. It makes me think on reflection about just how much of our recollected life is fantasy and how we are so susceptible to the engulfment of modern media, sculpting our perceptions through image bombardment.
‘We rise against the collision between the ‘director-enchanter’ and the public which is submitted to enchantment.
The conscious alone can fight against magical suggestion of every kind. The conscious alone can form a man of firm convictions and opinions. We need a conscious people, not an unconscious mass ready to yield to any suggestion’ Malcolm le Grice 2001. Experimental cinema in the digital age p46
