Feeding Consciousness
Adopting the form of the biblical Tower of Babel, Dominic Harris’ Feeding Consciousness is a 10ft sculpture that projects the contemporary collective consciousness without bias or prejudice. Harnessing artificial intelligence and datasets, this artwork presents the, up-to-the-minute, the top five trending subjects on Google’s search engine across its 180 screens and accompanying split-flap Solari display. The sculpture remains in a constant state of flux, responding to rapidly changing trends to communicate the chaos of the information age.
'As a visual commentary on today’s chaotic digital landscape, Feeding Consciousness captures the constant growth and transformation of our collective understanding, reminding us of the power and influence that media and technology wield.'
