Wide Web World
Mary Hatcher
It’s so clear in my mind, but I’ve found it almost impossible to communicate with words. Cue bullet points:
An average day involves substantial media consumption. The human brain contains a massive network of pie charts. The image that appears in your mind when you imagine a place that you’ve never been is a collage. Problem: content must appeal to millions of Americans because there are only three channels on television. Solution: keep it cookie-cutter so that men used to be men and women used to be women. Media molds perception. The past is black and white until sometime around 1972. Competition breeds clickbait. Any act elicited from a false belief of a burning world is arson. This is not a summary. Aside from my firm belief that algorithmic feeds should be illegal, there is no big statement. Wide Web World is my first attempt at putting the world as I see it onto multiple pieces of paper.
