INFORMATION WOMAN
Short excerpt from animated version.


"The piece 'Information Woman' draws itself, becoming alive with color as thoughts,images, and sounds segue in and out of phase. The piece is about spending a moment (a second? four minutes? an eternity?) in someone else's head. Thematically it's an exploration of how we have become extensions of our brains. The body is disappearing and being replaced by our thoughts in many ways. Surrounded by white noise, Information Woman integrates image and sound into her own thoughts. Moving between extroversion and introversion in an instant, she exists as an apparition in cyberspace, simultaneously existing in many places at once. In the same way that she pulls in sounds from the 'outside world' to feed her introspection, the viewer, awash in sound and image, is lulled into private thoughts and pulled back into the piece. 'The beach in her elbow' represents our ability to live apart from real time in thought while in 'reality' our bodies remain locked in the space/time continuum we call home."
