On September 29, 2012, I participated in the Dada ReBoot! project which was a part of Scotiabank Nuit Blanche 2012, presented by The Distillery Historic District and Thom Sokoloski.

The Creative Process
The poster is made by cutting and pasting random newspaper & magazine photos and text. It represents the noise and chaos of the social world by placing icons of social networks and random text in an unusual way.
“Our Social Times”
This work is inspired by Dada artists Hannah Höch and Raoul Hausmann and captures the zeitgeist of the virtual social world, which is an uninterrupted stream of data. Everything that can be expressed digitally is done on social networks, and is affecting all aspects of our lives. Social media allows us to be continuously in contact with other people, or gives us the illusion of connection. With every day’s posting and tweeting have we become hyper-connected and too dependent on social media, addicted to our smartphones, tablets and computers? Thus, are we more connected or disconnected?
