"The installation intends to explore the detrimental effects of the excessive consumption of nonessential information through mainstream media outlets and how it ultimately distorts and poisons our views of reality."
Thoughts can be similar to objects in that they
sometimes bounce off and other times stick to a thing.
So much visual information. (U.S. converted McDonald's flag, Commercial references, Cereal, Guns, Hypnotic rolling of pills, signs, vibrating type)
So much is happening. (The voice- it doesn't matter what it is saying, Rolling dollar signs, black bodies ejected into the sky at the airport, but the music is hopeful so you know they are headed someplace good, canned laughter.) How can you take your eyes off the big screen to see what's happening on the side? Two smaller screens, mr boulder head and, the floating smoking one eyed puppet.
Lapcevic's old icons were there- pig headed men with chattering teeth, spoiled or angry child. Of course I love the new image - the eye- bounces off the edge of it's lid and all of the other iterations.
Okay, I'm tapping my foot to the jingle the second time through, but the whole audience is getting nervous now- "You will spend money"
