These eerie photos will make you think twice about kids watching TV.<\/h3>\n

Aussie photographer Donna Stevens has explored the effects of our obsession with screens in her new series Idiot Box. <\/p>\n

She simply photographed young children as they sat in a dark room watching TV.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The images depict, in a super eerie way, the glazed-over expressions of the kids and Stevens herself describes the piece as an exploration of the darker side of our relationship with technology.<\/p>\n

“Idiot Box hopes to explore the darker side of our love for technology,” she writes on her website. <\/p>\n

“The series (shot while children watched TV) was an exploration into the co-dependent yet contradictory relationship we all share with technology and the media.”<\/p>\n

“Should we exhibit more caution about the role of technology in our children’s lives? Is our techno-paranoia warranted? No matter what gadgetry we may possess, do our problems remain human?”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So creepy. Do you have any idea what you look like when you watch TV?<\/p>\n
