The Society of the Spectacle article by Debord carefully investigate the world ‘spectacle’. Debord states that the society of spectacle is a society of false reality. Since it is everywhere, anywhere we are- we are disconnected from the actuality, separated from the truth. The elements of the surrounding setting become the victim of spectacle and so the tools to reproduce it. As a result we tend to believe on this rendered image (of false reality) as the way the world is. Moreover author also states that it is not just a misinterpretation of the world but it has lead people building a world based on a logic of false reality. Who we are is determined by spectacle hence who we are becomes the product of spectacle – product of false reality.  Furthermore Debord adds that capitalism generates spectacle as its growth is dependent on spectacle – a world where demand would remain always greater than supply.

I can sense some relation of the text by Lucy Suchman with this reading. Here the world of spectacle is the other end on interaction: Human-false reality communication. Because of spectacle’s attractive nature we lose our grip over our planned and controlled actions, cognitive science and our actions get augmented in virtual reality meaning we behave in a strange way. Manipulation and diplomacy dominates our original behaviors. In our society, we are not connected to the product we make and to our work in a way that we are removed from its creation. More than just a situation, spectacle becomes a partner with asymmetry of goals and objectives. Because of the density of spectacle around us, it has made its way to intelligence. Spectacle as an artifact understands the actions of user rather manipulate them in order to render the image of being self-explanatory.
