Audio Visual installation by Shuangshuang Huo fills a room projected with fragmented tweets from a bed of shattered mirrors:
“All in Pieces” is an installation, which can grab Tweets from Twitter in real time and project them onto a set of mirror pieces. At the same time, the computer program turns every letter of the Tweets into a sound frequency. The installation creates an immersive environment for audiences to resonate from their daily experience of information fragmentation, which is a social issue caused by the explosion of information on the Internet and the expanding of new media. As a primary information source, social media is gradually but deeply influencing people’s life by its “short”, “quick” and “inconsistent” characteristics. We are drowned in this ocean of information fragments. It’s getting harder to integrate pieces of information to construct meanings from the ocean of scattered information. This is the pain of people in the digital age. “All in Pieces” reflects the issue and refines the related daily experience.
