Infobesity Series. 2006

The Infobesity Series is a collection of generative online artworks by Stanza that explores information overload and the relentless circulation of images across digital networks. Using images sourced through Google news searches, bespoke software processes and recombines visual material into evolving digital collages.

Each artwork operates as a visual system in which information is transformed into pattern, repetition and noise. Images are removed from their original contexts and assembled into new configurations, reflecting the speed and scale at which news imagery circulates online. The resulting compositions explore the tension between information and meaning, questioning how we absorb, interpret and navigate the overwhelming volume of images that defines contemporary media culture.

Created in 2006, the series anticipates today's concerns around digital information overload, the continuous news cycle and the difficulty of distinguishing significance from the sheer accumulation of content. Rather than presenting news as a coherent narrative, the works reveal it as a constantly shifting stream of visual data.

These short video clip documents the behaviour of these bespoke software systems and their generative processes.

Format: Generative art, net art, custom software, computer code.
