Catalogue Note

"The vast intake and exchange of all forms of openly sourced content is often uncritically accepted under a guise of reality... The artworks inspect different forms of opposition or acquiescence to media, government regulation, kitsch and consumer culture, vanity, social taboo, injustice and mindless hogwash."
