**THE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE** **2024** This artwork reflects the tension between our increasingly fraught relationship with technology and its potential to either heal or harm the planet. The duality between chaos and harmony mirrors the division seen in society, shaped by the reality one chooses to engage with. Through the lens of social media, we are faced with a stark choice: immediate sensory overload (noise) or a broader, long-term perspective (signal). The former presents an overwhelming deluge of data, media, and perspectives, evoking a world seemingly teetering on the edge of collapse. Yet, when we take a step back and expand our view to the larger temporal horizon, a different narrative emerges-one of human resilience, technological innovation, and a slow but significant move towards a more harmonious existence with nature. This work allows the viewer to oscillate between these two realities. The dial becomes a metaphor for our own agency, representing the balance that can be found between a wider, more serene, holistic view of the world and the chaotic swirl of real-time news feeds, which illustrate the dissonance and implied urgency of the present moment. **LAST UPDATED: 10.26.2026** **S&P 500: $MIA (Missing Internet Access)** **BITCOIN PRICE: $MIA (Missing Internet Access)** **ETH PRICE: $MIA (Missing Internet Access)** **CURRENT HEADLINES** Lula is declared winner of Brazil's election as Bolsonaro rejects results Death Threats, Lawsuits and Billions in Play: The Battle Over Moving Russian Oil Lula is declared winner of Brazil's election as Bolsonaro rejects results New Mexico United Win Western Conference Championships After Defeating El Paso, 1-0 More than 77,000 residents vote early in Northwest Arkansas More than 77,000 residents vote early in Northwest Arkansas Shares fall in Asia after a decline on Wall Street, and oil prices fall more than 1% Australian Parliament pays tribute to injured lawmaker under increased security Chieftains come up just shy of win in heartbreaker Le Pen Launches Presidential Run in Locked-Down Orléans as Police Keep Far-Left Militants at Bay
