On everything by Pall Thayer.
Review by Sabine Gottfried.
———————————————————————>
In On Everything, text has become an arbitrary combination of fragments
passing across the screen as an infinite stream of cooking recipes,
marketing phrases, and personal diary entries, embracing any possible
topic that can potentially find its way into text. Images, meanwhile,
seem similarly decomposed and fragmented. Processed by something like a
digital shredder, they are cut into shavings and rearranged into
colorful, collage-like compounds only vaguely reminiscent of their
originals.
