In the age of information technology, the concept of "information leakage" is familiar and understandable to everyone. But, you must admit, it is quite abstract, because it is impossible to imagine "information" and the process of its "leakage" in the form of concrete objects - they simply do not exist in nature. Yet Birmingham College graduate Richard J. Evans tried: this is how his sculpture Information Leak was born.
"Information Leak", which translates as "information leak", is a faucet, from which a stream of letters flows, spilling over the edge of the sink. Slightly higher on the shelf is an overturned cup, the contents of which are also poured out, forming a literal puddle. “I wanted to show how easily information flows in modern society through the Internet and television. You can get information about things that you don't even know about. Considering such an abundance of information, I feel how it spills over the edge of our lives,”the author says about the idea of his sculpture.
Richard Evans created the Information Leak sculpture as a graduation project at FEED, Matthew Boulton College. The author carved the letters from wood using laser cutting. Evans's work became quite popular and went beyond the walls of the educational institution, getting on the Free Range Graduate Art & Design Show in London, FEED_NOISE at Millennium Point in Birmingham, and then spreading on the Internet.
Richard Evans lives in Birmingham. The 27-year-old author is currently a creative retouching artist and also a freelance graphic designer.
