MEDIA VIOLENCE

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

IMPORTANT: TO AVOID MISCONCEPTION CHECK THE STATEMENT BELOW:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is not a specific anti-videogames statement nor a violence-glorifying picture - and it's by no means a suicide portrait. It's more about certain aspects of virtuality and reality getting mixed in a bad way. The picture should draw attention to the complexity of videogames with their potential harmful (media violence, videogames addiction etc) and their potential beneficial effects (entertainment, escapism etc.).

 

As with any of my pictures: Please contact me if you want to use this photo. Just send me a flickr message. Usally no big deal, just a question of money ; ] Serious: this picture is too easy exploited for several purposes - and I'de like to deicide whether I approve of the purpose or not.
