Project Context
In modern society, resolution is not only a technical standard but also a tool for capital to control and shape the visual experience. While high-resolution images symbolise 'high' and 'real', low-resolution images are seen as a marginal product of vision and capital manipulates aesthetic and consumption behaviours through resolution levels. Capital manipulates aesthetics and consumer behaviour through resolution levels, reinforcing visual hierarchies, and Gen Z has witnessed the technological leap from low-resolution to ultra-high-definition, and has felt the change in resolution levels directly but has also gradually been domesticated to accept the notion that high-resolution equals high-value.
