This series of multi-panel drawings is an attempt to make sense of the overwhelming firehose of information and sensation that comes with being Extremely Online.

I begin the drawings by running a software script which randomly pulls from a collection of found images and video.  The three panels reference a standard method of drawing fortune-telling cards; a way of divining personal meaning through over-burdened sets of symbols. 

It’s not about producing a definitive statement, but more creating provisional narratives to make sense of transient feelings. Any autobiographical significance is always plausibly deniable.
