Work statement: Communication is one of many apotheosis of humanity, we have found infinite ways to communicate, disseminating knowledge, information and visual pleasure in all its forms. Indeed we have turned it into a science, religion and way of life. However within the communication of our civilizations there exists a paradox opportunity for communication to be transformed and warped to the benefit or hazard of the receiver of said communication. We see it all around us today, magazines, blogs and news networks make capital off of the idea that information can be distorted and debated for ratings and marketing purposes. The purpose of the installation would be to examine as artists what phenomena controls the transformation and evolution of language to symbols, symbols to code, code to language and so on. How does our media, the largest purveyors of communication, create a system that supports such rapid and consistent evolution of communication? More importantly where does this happen? |
