  • "It's an interesting concept, and an exploration of a persistent anxiety around truth, which isn't unique to this era, though it has come back into the broader consciousness in the age of the Internet. The idea that this device, which provides a stream of information "without bias," could exist external to any ideology, is of course a nice fantasy, but as a piece that is itself meant to provoke thought and conversation around the nature of truth, propaganda, bias etc. I feel it works. What struck me as off, however, was taking inspiration from dystopian architecture and evoking 1984 in order to give a sense of "monolithic" truth. This is a majorly mixed metaphor; the brutalist style we imagine in the architecture of these dystopian societies is a facade (no pun) to hide the underlying falsehood; that the societies are not built on truth and justice, as their outward facing elements are meant to suggest. Borrowing a form language from something more humanist or natural would have been more consistent with the messaging, but I suppose I'm letting my own ideology show a little there ;)www.abandazian.com"
