McLuhan argues that electric media collapses space and time into a simultaneous field of relation; shifting our attention from action to reaction. Instead of representing this idea through narrative, I'm choosing to visualize it as an autonomous system.
By releasing an AI agent into the web with no predefined goal, the project stages connection as an experience. Each webpage is planned to become a node and each hyperlink (hyperlink being connections between other webpages) as a line, forming an expanding network that reflects the collapse of geography into relation. I intentionally removed content and meaning to structure, resonating with McLuhan's idea that the medium shapes perception.
The growing visualization is meant to feel overwhelming, mirroring the unified and fused environment of electric media. Ultimately, this work explores what happens when the web inhabit itself: when traversal replaces intention and relation replaces distance.
