DATACLYSM.jpg
Dataclysm.jpg is a collection of poems connecting human nature to the digital age, exploring the loss & gain of human emotion through technological advancements & vanity. It creates a visceral understanding of the connections between capitalism/consumerism, as well as the constant, pervasive flow of information.
DATACLYSM.jpg's title is a meshwork of allusions: a pop-science book of the same name, the conceptualization of data as something capable of drowning a person, and the lossy nature of information stored in a .jpg (and probably more). -Jamison Crabtree, DIAGRAM
