In today’s technology-driven culture, we live in multiple places at once: in person, in the real world, but also in the cyberspace of our smartphones and computers. Our brains act as processors, systematically organising imagery, info, and data collected from our surroundings. 

Diana’s sculpture humorously depicts the moment of digital overload. This four-legged, post-human figure shows the reality of living amongst this network of constant information processing. As the figure consumes the digital – the smartphone it holds – its gargantuan form grows, swelling with the ever-increasing mass of data.
