Living day-to-day in this hyperkinetic 21st century world, it’s hard to ﬁnd places that are not synthetic. While the “natural” is a revered and sought-after commodity, very little we encounter is in an unmarked or pristine state. If our world is synthetic and the environments we encounter are manufactured, artiﬁcial and put together, what does this say about our place in the world? How does living in a world of artiﬁce affect us? What objects do we revere and what artifacts represent us? The Bay Area Photographers Collective put a challenge to its photographers to examine and explore the worlds of artiﬁce in which we live. The result: ten BAPC members present ten “takes” or visions of their synthetic environments.
