Greg Hochmuth: Staring at the internet
/
What is the psychological effect of the Internet on humanity? What do we find online? What do we do when we're not online? Listen to what Gregor Hochmuth and Jonathan Harris found when they collected millions of data points online to try to answer these questions.
Greg Hochmuth is an artist and engineer based in New York City. He studied computer science and design at Stanford University, and then worked as a product manager, engineer, and data analyst at Google, Instagram, and Facebook. In 2015, Greg started collaborating with Jonathan Harris based on their shared interest in data poetics; Network Effect, an exploration of the psychological effects of internet use on humanity, is the first project they have released together.
