Bliss Information investigates how conspiratorial modes of thought and dissemination of information influence contemporary epistemological systems. Uniting unreliable truths with reliable falsehoods through methods of critical fabulation, apophenia, surveillance, mapping, and reenactment, we contemplate the generative potential of a destabilized informational ecosystem.

The selected work seeks to establish a conversation with the viewer about secrecy as a language of intrigue, ecstasy, and alienation.
