“Everything that was directly lived has receded into a representation" (Debord 1967, 7) The spectacle for Debord "is a social relation between people that is mediated by images" (Debord 1967, 7).” ... “The current life has become the pursuit of commodities where "people's activity becomes less and less active and more and more contemplative" (Debord 1967, 34).” ... “Instead of living our lives actively and allowing for critical thought, we simply spectate.”
