The Big Picture: Gaining a New Perspective with the Help of Databases (2009)
Curated by Tim Carroll

Through the eight works in this online exhibit, my goal is to show how bits of information can be combined into a database and displayed so that the viewer can gain a greater understanding of the world and how individuals fit into it. In addition to this I will point out how each piece of information may have a personal meaning to an individual, but once it is collected and displayed in conjunction with many other bits of information, that personal meaning is typically lost.
