Related Paragraph However, contrasting the pessimistic viewpoint of ‘Flames and Dangling Wire’ the visual text “What lies beyond” celebrates technological progress, bringing us to realise that Globalisation leads us to a heightened understanding of human society and our world. While our attention instantly is focussed on the salient view outside the keyhole, the vectors of the arrows lead us to the graphs and diagrams that frame the view, bringing us to realise that our perceptions of humanity in this globalised world are shaped by statistics and meticulous observations of societal and economic trends. This idea is further fortified by the persona in front of the keyhole, whose formal attire alludes to the increasing consumerism and commercialism of society. Furthermore, the ability of technological and economic progress to lead us to a heightened understanding of society is evident in the high angle perspective of the view outside the keyhole, giving the viewer the sense of power associated with a greater access to knowledge and understanding. Thus, the vectors of the keyhole’s shadow, directing our gaze from the diagrams to the view outside the keyhole ultimately lead us to discover the potential for technological and economic progress to bring us to renewed perceptions on humanity and the world.
