Concept

What happens when traditional broadcast media intersects with internet-era platforms? This ongoing series explores how information distribution becomes decentralized by manipulating live news feeds — reconstructing them using preset imagery and generative audio.

01

Processes live CBSN broadcasts through 50 preset pictures in real-time. Audio and image sizing are controlled by the news station’s audio feed, creating a constantly shifting mosaic driven by the broadcast itself.
