2022-23 Platform Gallery Exhibition: Too Much Information

The 2022-23 Platform exhibition engages with the IHC’s public events series theme, Too Much Information, which considers what it means to live in the Information Age. How does the human brain process the ceaseless influx of information in our media-saturated world? How are the capacities for attention and relaxation, and mental and physical health, affected by “information overload”? How are democratic practices, social movements, national policies, and security decisions influenced by the global circulation of data and the ubiquity of misinformation?
