Requirements:

Internet browser with Flash 8+ plugin & stereo audio.

Context:

Continuum reflects upon the evolution of our collective history through the real-time analysis of global news information networks. As no event transpires in isolation, each moment of our existence is defined by the sum of an infinite number of interconnected occurrences. Given that no individual can absorb and process the totality of this information, how can we obtain an informed notion of the present?

Source Material:

(images and texts) Headline news articles from the live BBC internet news service sampled and recombined in real-time. (audio) Manipulated sample from päike ja jää by Cloudspeak.
