It is amazing how strong remains the belief in the
saving  power  of  communication,  in  the  force  of
critical arguments, the might of truth and the right
to  expression.  Belief  in  the  public  sphere,  as  a
playground for this free communication. Just as it
were  enough  to  reveal  the  facts,  expose  the
injustice,  point  out  the  contradictions  in  the
system.  The  change,  the  progress  should  result
directly  from  this  critical  action.  The  Information
Absorber is supposed to reveal a hidden and less
friendly aspect of the public sphere – its capacity
of neutralizing of every massage by adding it up to
other cumulated messages, which form a chaotic
information patchwork rather than contradict one
another.  Information  doesn’t  follow  the  logic  of
truth.  It  plays  an  important  role  in  the
reproduction of the Spectacle…
 

Information Absorber is an object in public space, with an interactive sound installation as the most essential part.
