This piece is inspired by COUNTERBLAST by Marshall McLuhan, and mainly about the pattern recognition in this Information Age. Recognize the pattern in this age of massive information - So much information, it’s had reached the level of abstraction - and recognize where we are heading or you will be the blind for whom all things appear to be sudden.
