A Note from the Editors:
“Endless Zoom meetings''
“Inbox with four-digit unread emails”
“Mounting text messages”
“Infinite scrolls of Instagram posts or TikTok videos”
Our everyday life is overloaded with all kinds of information. As we are cooped up in our apartments with digital devices, the ever-expanding virtual world becomes the ultimate space we truly reside in. Indeed, we benefit from the ease of communication and enjoy the instant gratification of information consumption, but such fluidity also results in information overload, in which we find ourselves lost in a flat, decentralized, data-driven and intangible world. Dispatch 02: OVERLOAD is an effort to conceive such a world in any kind of digital format.
