Generation Correction

We are the generation of corrections and filters I am told by the swedish journalist
Jessica Gedin, listening to one of my favourite radio shows; Spanarna.

3 examples of these thesis:

# ClearPlay is a DVD-filter you can download to your player removing all explicit content seamlessly that
"enables your family to enjoy all of the great Hollywood movies you’ve always wanted to watch—without all of the junk you don’t want. You won´t even notice what you have missed, but you will be glad you did."

# The method
a soundengineer at Sveriges Radio has come up with to get rid of the sound of all Vuvuzelas beeing played at the World Cup in South Africa.
By adjusting your equalizer on the tv to filter out keynote 233 Bb or Bess and overtone 466, 699, 932 and 1165 Hertz, the sound of Vuvuzelas is almost gone.

# All the new tec you can find in a digital camera; make-up function, anti-shock-function (with a (side)effect making shaking things appear totally still, when filming I might add).

There is of course nothing new with correcting things we not satisfied with and perhaps not so mind-blowing, but when we are trying to automize it and combine it with modern technologies, there can be some really interesting consequences.

I´m thinking how this could be interpretated into a spatial context. How could a mechanism filtering spatial experiences function, and how would the influenced space look like?
What should be filtered? Or can it all be reversed? A mechanism showing everything that is hidden from our perception.
