Cyberriver attempts to portray the “give” and “take” of social media. Seemingly invisible, information seeps like water everywhere from transaction records to satellite tracking to chat rooms, collecting all personal and non-personal data. From there, the flow of data merges into an unstoppable stream that becomes the greatest digital river of the twenty-first century, putting the future in the hands of the unknown. The artist suggests Cyberriver to stimulate the imagination of the conspiracy of social networks, trying to imagine what the “individual” is, in relation to social media.
