The Device Gazes Back

He who fights against wires should look to it that he himself does not become wires. And if you gaze long into the device, the device also gazes into you.

A dark red, heavily distorted image shows a shadowy face or figure emerging from electronic-looking noise beneath a parody of Nietzsche’s famous quotation. The joke turns the original idea about staring into the abyss into a surreal warning that technology can stare back and transform you. It is used as an absurd, ominous reaction to excessive screen time, technological obsession, or feeling consumed by devices.
