Kaleidoscope
Project Overview
The Echo Chamber is an observational reflection on the nature of social media today. When major events occur, digital feeds become saturated with homogeneous opinions, reinforcing limited perspectives while filtering out opposing viewpoints. This kaleidoscope-based installation draws from major news events of 2016, referencing platforms such as CNN 2016 in Review, Google The Year in Search 2016, and 2016 A Year on Twitter.
Project Details
In contrast to viral news cycles, the installation incorporates underrepresented topics such as race, the environment, sexuality, and war, which, despite their profound significance, failed to sustain long term social media attention. The work challenges the common tendency to focus solely on trending topics, urging greater awareness of vital issues beyond fleeting online discourse.
Like the optical patterns within a kaleidoscope, which are created through repeated reflections of the same internal materials, social media continuously mirrors our own perspectives across different platforms and devices. Over time, the information we consume becomes a direct reflection of ourselves, forming a repetitive, familiar, and self-reinforcing loop within our digital environment.
