-
To most of the workshop students, life has become totally visual. They are members of not so much the Me Generation as the Eye Generation.
-
This visually oriented generation "acquires much more of their knowledge -- some studies estimate that acquisition as 50 percent -- from visual texts" than from written sources, says Kathy Krauth, who is working on the Visualizing Cultures project at the Massachusetts Institute for Technology.
