This is one in series of photos depicting the faces of young people bathed in the soft glow of laptops, cell phones, and other electronic devices. The artist is making a statement about how today’s youth are both connected to and cut off from the world around them. Or something.
Of course, my face has been illuminated by a computer screen’s phosphorescent glow on most evenings since I was a wee one. And back then, the glow was more of a sickly green hue, making me look like a Vulcan with a touch of the flu. Some people would say I still look like that.
