It's affect, not effect, in this case: https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/usage/affect-or-effect (I'm sorry. My English is far from perfect either, I just really stumbled over this one for some reason.)

While that situation is often the case, effect is used correctly as a verb in this context. From your link: > When used as a verb effect means ‘to bring something about as a result’. It’s most often used in a formal context as oppose to everyday English: > Growth in the economy can only be effected by stringent economic controls. > The new policies did little to effect change. > The prime minister effected many polic…

Is the viewer brought about as a result of the production of said images?

No, but the content is brought about as a result of the production of said images.

One that removes cars, airplanes, and horses would be great

It would be a cool web project to have photographs of scenes where you could dynamically choose what to remove from the scene.

In his video he approaches people on the street and asks them to pose without the phone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8TsV3IExYg

Off topic: I've never seen this notice on Youtube before: CGTN is funded in whole or in part by the Chinese government Screenshot: https://screenshotscdn.firefoxusercontent.com/images/7bd277c...

I guess it's related to CGTN having had to register as foreign agents: https://www.wsj.com/articles/justice-department-has-ordered-...

Presumably YouTube is also required to indicate that status.

Would love to see this picture with the phones and cameras removed: https://artsmetaphor.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Mona-Lis...

This is depressing. What's the point of taking another smartphone picture of the Mona Lisa. So they can go home and show or post on some "social" website another smartphone pic of the Mona Lisa? I guess I just don't get it.

Another one of the same vein I've seen circulated:

By the title you’d assume these are candid shots of people in real life situations with the phones digitally removed. The actual method the photographer used was to stage situations, and acquire models to act out scenarios for maximum effect. I don’t know how the production of said images will effect the viewer - but I think it’s important to point out - as it does effect the content. This is staged art. This isn’t d…

You're right, I misinterpreted it. My mistake, sorry about that. Hopefully a mod can update the title.

Here's the explanation from the photographer on how they were made:

"The large format portraits are of individuals who appear to be holding personal devices although the devices have been physically removed from the sitter’s hand. They are asked to hold their stare and posture as I remove their device and then I make the exposure."

"[Phone/Technology/Social Media/War/Orange Man/Consumerism] Bad" all seem like EXTREMELY tapped markets in the art world. This seems like something a deep middle-schooler would put out, in my opinion.
