In last part of the book,  New Media in Art by Michael Rush mentions artist Paul Garrin,  white devil , (1993) an interactive cinema installation. The viewers are placed in middle of imaginary neighborhood as they pass through the the gallery space surveillance cameras track their gestures and dangerous  dog appears on video screens to scare them. Similar, to how stereo-profiling is in some neighborhoods. Mainly, ones that are not use to having people of different backgrounds. But at the same time this also views that everyone is suspicious regardless of race, ethnic, or religion. Treated as equals in the view of the cameras and the dog. Terrifying movie. 

In this section of chapter four Michael Rush speaks briefly about the internet although vast and global not yet affordable for everyone (222). As artists find new ways to distribute their artwork online. The book discusses various websites that artist constructed another piece of artwork for hosting their work. Similarly, museums seem obsolete because now artist have a way commissioning their work cutting out the middle man. And there no rules of how obscenity are pushed. Which good and bad for viewers and artist. 

A German artist by the name of Andreas Gursky photo manipulated laborers to make seem that were over thousands of workers in one building. And the photograph makes you think about where all materialistic phones, clothing, tablets things. I think we all know it comes from but what we do not like to think about is the amount of labor and conditions of the environment.
