Now, on CCTV cameras, we’re all filmed and photographed thousands of times a day. Warhol realised that we were becoming more than bodies – we were becoming images. The way that we all became part of the media machine is something that he understood very early.” From “Andy Warhol’s legacy lives on in the factory of fame” on The Guardian.
