I started thinking about living in the “ information age” and how information overload can degenerate into noise that overwhelms our ability to parse it for meaning. The initial motivation for the work came from thinking about the images that accompany news stories. These images are part of the daily news ‘cycle’ reproduced digitally and in print. Worldwide distribution viewed millions of times diminishes impact. After a few weeks these stories are displaced and consigned to obscurity by the next cycle of information. Rinse and repeat.
Humans need to become more creative and imaginative in how to process this mass of information in ways that bring clarity and understanding, Otherwise we are going to drown in a flood of information and misinformation. Unable to determine truth from lies and propaganda.
