| Outro: Douglas Coupland wrote that we live in an accelerated culture, with each generation’s information bombardment level higher than the last. In this acceleration, we think, a kind of Doppler effect is created in which the compression of information becomes distorted and unclear; the very nature of how this exponential growth in speed comes at you defines how compacted (and ultimately confusing) the information is presented. This oversaturation of ideas is the demonstrated concept in our Instant Classics. Nothing taken down to the granule level can succeed in replacing these original stories. But we have created artwork that represents some of the major themes and emblems, so while these pieces can’t and therefore don’t attempt to do justice to the original literature (and, albeit, that’s the central point we’re making), they do hopefully invest an interest in the original inspirations while simultaneously striving to achieve something new in its own right. |
