450 m2 of information overwhelm. A chance to comprehend the obscene quantity of inputs we receive each day.
A larger version of our Data Heartbreak from Llum Barcelona, we remodelled the experience for this incredible space in the M9 Museum in Venice.
They say information is power, but how much is too much? What are we asking of our soul and senses when we have twenty tabs open, music on, professional chats, personal chats, and all the while we’re scrolling and scrolling…
Using an immersive soundscape and 12 screens we combine visual, physical and audio inputs to give visitors an experience that conveys the huge quantities of data implied in their daily scrolling.
As grand as this piece turned out, it is about more than that. We want people to think about the relationship with data that we are normalising for the future. The behaviours we are establishing with new technology and an abundance of information that will significantly shape the future.
