Palimpsest 1: video proposal for exhibiton

We are exposed to a constant stream of image, text, and sound. In this age of information, we can consume just as instantaneously as we can upload and offload. Through my work I am exploring our relationship to information, the process of how we absorb this information and the ways it affects us.

I suspect contemporary information technologies such as the internet are changing the nature of human existence. This ontological interest is being cultivated through studying an array of subjects; time, otherness, chaos theory, the eastern notion of oneness, and technological singularity.

Palimpsest 1 is a development of my interest with video information. Using a set of stock footage I came by online I am attempting to create a narrative. Here I am using the editing process to symbolize and explore how we analyse and collate video on a daily basis.
