All Tomorrows Stories (Series) 2002
All Tomorrows Stories is a series of online, screen-based generative artworks that transform the continuous flow of news and information into evolving digital compositions. The artworks explore how we make sense of a world increasingly mediated by screens, where news, images and information arrive in an incessant stream. Through customised software, incoming material is fragmented, combined and remediated into new visual patterns. Rather than presenting information as a linear narrative or a straightforward account of events, the artworks create a constantly changing field of associations, reflecting the instability, overload and contradictions of contemporary information culture.
Situated within the early history of net art, All Tomorrows Stories treats the internet not simply as a platform for displaying artworks, but as a source of material and an active environment for artistic production. The software becomes both a creative instrument and a means of examining how information is selected, circulated and transformed. News is no longer just something to be read; it becomes raw material for an evolving visual language.
The title suggests an uncertain future shaped by the stories we tell, the information we consume and the systems through which events are represented. By converting news into generative image structures, Stanza invites us to consider how meaning emerges from an overwhelming abundance of information, and how our understanding of the world is continually reconstructed through the media we encounter.
Originally developed using Adobe Shockwave, the works reflect the experimental technologies of early interactive internet art. Shockwave was discontinued in 2019, meaning the original online versions may no longer function in contemporary browsers. The artworks remain available for presentation in gallery exhibitions as software-based installations, on request.
All Tomorrows Stories is an early exploration of themes that have become increasingly relevant in the age of information overload, algorithmic feeds and continuous online news. It anticipates contemporary concerns about how digital systems organise our attention, shape our perception of events and transform the flow of information into the visual culture through which we understand the world.
