Marshall McLuhan "Global village"

"We look at the present through a rear-view mirror. We march backwards into the future.”

If Marshall McLuhan was a rockstar, his legacy would consist of an incredible discography, where he spoke to his generation, as well as the next five. We would talk about his amazingly quotable but often misheard lyrics that affected metal-heads and ravers alike. And we would mention his frequent appearances on television, where people of his profession weren’t generally invited. This last statement would still be true.
In reality, he did all of these things in the 1960’s but with philosophy: describing, predicting, and envisioning the dangers that “current” media consumption trends can lead to.

No seagulls were harmed in the making of this digital collage.
In all seriousness, this is a personal project and I made it out of love for the author, not to infringe copyright laws.
