She who measures

I wanted to add this animation called “She who measures” where the analogy of a world where everybody sees the same feels very similar to what we face day by day.

Some questions that came to my mind while thinking in blind spots:

1. We tend to homogenize knowledge.

2. The needs of western civilization does not necessarily fulfill the ones of the rest of the world.

3. The cultural shock and rejection towards other people choices, culture and behavior is our biggest blind spot.

4. How media can be useful for people with deep social problems, how can we transform physical spaces via media?

I dont know if you could read my thoughts about blind spots and Foerster text because they are in a comment :P here is the link:
