The subject matter of Marshall’s paintings, installations, and public projects is often drawn from African-American popular culture, and is rooted in the geography of his upbringing. Marshall shares that: “Blackness has always been stigmatised, even amongst black people who flee from the density of that blackness. Some black people…

changes of the institution. The 21st century is rapidly advancing and therefore, we cannot guarantee its future but we can predict it. The theories of the ‘hot and cool media’, ‘the global village’, and the ‘narcissism effect’ were all formed by Marshall McLuhan to foretell the future of media when it had just begun to develop. Many years later, the social media application Twitter proves McLuhan’s theories on media are still relevant in present day society. Twitter…

age where various forms of media play an undeniably crucial role in the dissemination of information to citizens, it was the philosophical prophecies of Marshall McLuhan that prove to still be pertinent in today’s use of media. The present usage of such terms as “media”, “global village” as well as “Age of Information” were all coined by Marshall McLuhan in his 1965 work Understanding Media (Lapham, x).
