The internet provides global access to events, stripping away local context and history. Global media simplifies events for audiences, often relying on simplistic storytelling, stereotyping, and political and economic rhetoric.
Townsend’s installation, Speaking for Someone Else, uses figures and objects to act out simple relationships and stories of global fragmentation and control, using looped hand-drawn animations and Augmented Reality (AR). This body of work emerges from his recent experiences working on “design and social innovation” projects in communities. It reflects on the influence of social media and simplistic storytelling on how people may see the world.
