Due to the current technological progress and the associated spread of mass media, one is constantly exposed to the rapidly growing flood of information today. The more the tide rises, the more we seal ourselves off with carefully collected pieces of information. Cultures, communities, and individuals surround themselves in echo bubbles that conform to their respective worldviews. Separations and borders become more and more apparent as the mass of information blurs their perspectives, pushing people into shutdown. Fearing that their constructed worldview will be destroyed, any influence that does not correspond to the fragmented interpretation of the world that is society and culture is censored.
“We are blurring out of reality.” Facts are subordinated. Comfort is made a priority. With the work “disarray”, the user is thrown into a state between excess and isolation.
“We are blurring out of reality.” Facts are subordinated. Comfort is made a priority. With the work “disarray”, the user is thrown between excess and isolation. Their constructed echo-bubble of comfort is infused with creeping content that alters already fixed narratives of known and conforming information. The interaction further enhances the bubble and constructs it towards three basic building blocks of a story narrative: figure, transformation, and diegesis. With each stroke, a visible net of past decisions obstructing further moves is constructed until a deadlock leaves the user in a non-stopping flood of escalating information. By constantly switching between interaction, observation, and the totality of influences, the reflex of building a coherent narrative between the content is stimulated to distort further information structures forming an ever deeper reaching spiral.
