Description
A digital artwork that encapsulates the multifaceted implications of our ongoing technological revolution. This piece serves as a commentary on the rapid digitization of various aspects of our lives – from the transformation of professions as machines and computers replace human roles, to the shift of socializing, entertainment, and cultural experiences into the digital realm.
The artwork explores the profound impact of Big Data, which increasingly informs and shapes our behavioral patterns. It also draws attention to the emerging divide of ‘young illiterates,’ individuals who, despite growing up in the digital age, find themselves at odds with the evolving technological landscape. A secondary layer of interpretation delves into the overwhelming volume and pace of information in the digital age. The rapid, ceaseless cascade of data often outpaces our ability to process it, leading to a flattening of news, concepts, and user experiences across the World Wide Web. This overwhelming information flow is symbolized in the artwork through the use of monochrome, reflecting the homogenization of experiences in the face of data overload.
