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. http://www.furtherfield.org/displayreview.php?review_id=277
