As the world around us increases in technological complexity, our understanding of it diminishes. Despite the apparent accessibility of information, we seem to be living in a new ‘Dark Age’, lost in a sea of information, increasingly divided by fundamentalism, simplistic narratives, conspiracy theories, and post-factual politics. Artist and writer James Bridle surveys the history of art, technology and information systems, trying to reveal the “dark clouds that gather over our dreams of the digital sublime”.
