Involution

A spiraling decay of mental wellbeing. Especially in modern day China, referring to a feeling of hopelessness, pointlessness, and dread created by an oppressively competitive and overworking society with strict expectations.

This government led involution that plagues our people today is ruthless in convincing society that they always need to work harder and compete harder, against our own neighbors, to meet the high expectations that were set for us – it’s killing us.

Infolution 

Information age reference to the manic and massive proliferation of information bombarding humans through multitudes of formats, channels, conduits and mediums. Referencing the Father of Modern Communication / Theorist, Marshall McLuhan, who taught us "The medium is the message", "Infolution" blows this concept into millions of shiny pieces of yesteryear and stands for the new concept of the super-satuaration of information and its effect on the human race.
