Information overload and cultural clutter are characteristic of contemporary society. Writer and cultural critic Masha Tupitsyn employs Twitter to explore the changing ways that we construct and consume narrative.
Inspired by Chris Markers free-associative film impressions in La Jetèe and Sans Soleil, LACONIA is part film diary, part cultural inventory, and part mashup. Pulling from an array of film, popular culture, books, and mainstream news, it offers penetrating critical commentary on an increasingly muddled virtual world.
