Have you all heard about Wolfram Hahn? In 2006 he photographed a handful of children between the ages of 3 and 12 for an exhibit called, A disenchanted Playroom. The children, seen above, carry sad/despondent expressions. In the words of the artist,


... with facial expressions rather to be associated with adults, unusual for children this age.”


The children were photographed watching TV.


As such they seem lifeless like dolls, or bodies bereft of their spirits.”


I grew up watching TV, and a lot of it. That's pretty common these days. But do we know what it's doing/what it's done?


If these kids faces are any measure, it might be time to toss the tube.
