The work considers the psychological impact of today\u0026rsquo;s highly mediated information landscape, where fear and suspicion are cultivated. Developed through a collaboration with Mahzarin Banaji, a professor of psychology at Harvard University, the work considers the power of media images as expressed by the behaviour of individuals. In particular, Banaji\u0026rsquo;s research considers the multi-layered alterations that take place in human perception following exposure to images when there is a drop in consciousness of one\u0026rsquo;s self, down to the level of our collective conscience. Gupta has subsequently interpreted and extended this research into a soundtrack made from hypnotic fragments of speech. The microphones have had their function reversed, so rather than being used to record sound, they emit this soundtrack, designed to \u0026lsquo;sing\u0026rsquo; and ripple over its surface.

Het werk beschouwt de psychologische impact van het huidige, sterk gemedieerde informatielandschap, waar angst en achterdocht worden gecultiveerd. Het werk, ontwikkeld in samenwerking met Mahzarin Banaji, professor in de psychologie aan de Harvard University, stelt vragen bij de kracht van mediabeelden zoals die tot uiting komt in het gedrag van individuen. In het bijzonder beschouwt Banaji\u0026#39;s onderzoek de meerlagige veranderingen die plaatsvinden in de menselijke waarneming na blootstelling aan beelden die een daling in het zelfbewustzijn teweeg brengen, gaande tot op het niveau van het collectieve bewustzijn.
