INFORMATION AVALANCHE

THE CHANGE IS REAL, THE CHANGE IS HERE, THE THIRD INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION PERVADES EVERY SINGLE ASPECT OF OUR LIVES AND WE CANNOT FULLY ESCAPE IT.

AS HUMANS WE ARE SOCIAL CREATURES BY NATURE, FOR ONE TO NOT LIVE IN THIS TECHNOLOGICAL TSUNAMI WOULD MEAN TO COMPLETELY REMOVE ONESELF FROM COLLECTIVE INTERACTION.

THUS, THE MOST VIABLE OPTION IS TO FIND THE BEST WAY TO COEXIST WITH THIS WORLDWIDE PHENOMENON, A SOFT SPOT PLACED BETWEEN TWO EXTREMES: TECHNOLOGY ADDICTION AND ISOLATING SOLITUDE.

THROUGH VARIOUS SETS, THIS PROJECT AIMS TO DEPICT THIS FEELING OF CONSTANT THREAT IN WHICH WE LIVE, WHETHER CONSCIOUS OR NOT.

SKIPPING NEWS:

NEWSPAPERS, SOCIAL MEDIA, BILLBOARDS, ADS AND SO ON EXPOSE US TO DATA THAT COULD ADD POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE VALUE TO OUR EXISTENCE BY TRIGGERING OUR EMOTIONS.

THE TRICK IS TO LEARN HOW AND WHICH INFORMATION TO SKIP AND WHICH INFORMATION TO POSE ON AND CHERISH.

NO WIRES ATTACHED:

WIRES ARE AN INTRINSIC PART OF OUR EXISTENCE, THE PROVIDERS OF ENERGY FOR OUR MOST BELOVED OBJECTS LIKE PHONES, SCREENS AND NOWADAYS ALSO CERTAIN CARS.

COULD YOU LIVE A WIRE FREE LIFE?

EMOJI JUNGLE:

PUSH NOTIFICATIONS REMOVE US FROM LIVING THE PRESENT MOMENT TAKING US TO ANOTHER SPACE WHERE AN EMOTION CAN BE DESCRIBED WITH AN EMOTICON AND A RELATIONSHIP CAN BE INTERRUPTED WITH A TEXT MESSAGE.

WE LIVE IN AN EMOJI JUNGLE, STAY SAFE OUT THERE!

LIVING IN A SCREEN:

VIRTUAL, 2D, 3D WHERE ARE WE?

OUR CONSCIOUSNESS CAN LIVE IN SO MANY DIMENSIONS, WHERE THE SCREEN LIFE IS TAKING INCREASINGLY MORE IMPORTANCE.

HOW MUCH TIME DO YOU SPEND WITH YOUR GAZE AT A SCREEN?

FOR THE RECORD:

ALL ASPECTS OF OUR LIFE CAN BE FOSSILISED IN A FILE, BE IT A PHOTOGRAPH, A VIDEO, A WHATSAPP MESSAGE. OUR LIVES ARE BEING CONSTANTLY RECORDED.

OUR FILES ARE PART OF OUR IDENTITY.

NEVER ALONE:

COOKIES OBSERVE LURKING FROM THE DARK HOPING FOR US TO CLICK THAT AD, HOPING FOR THE BARCODE TO BE SCANNED.
