tl;dr (an abbreviation of ‘too long; didn’t read’) reflects on the democratisation of information through the self-publication offered by the internet and the consequences of this for trust, authenticity and reliability. She brings her own interest in materiality, layering and palimpsest to ideas around information, disinformation, obfuscation - and each individual’s own responsibility for how and what they consume. She considers the paradox that liberation from paternalistic management of information delivery and the subsequent wealth of information now at our fingertips, is undermined by its own provenance - because of growing evidence of malign actions by individuals and state actors; dishonesty and disruption in pursuit of clicks and monetisation; the collapse of trust in media platforms and figures of authority; and the evolution of AI. This paradox is reflected in the representation of digital information in a tangible, tactile form, evoking traditional systems of information ownership.
