Squeaky Wheel welcomes a presentation of works by 2016 Workspace Resident Eric Souther!

Religion and ritual can be used as a lens to humanize data and reveal the subliminal effects of media on our world-view. The ritualistic spaces of media can help us to discover new possibilities for understanding the digital systems in which we live and participate. Selections for this screening include Myth of the Masses, Search Engine Vision “Christ”, Search Engine Vision “Buddha”, and Search Engine Vision “ISIS”.
