The project examines how limiting ourselves to just 24 pages of a newspaper shapes our worldview. Using newspapers as a medium, JungJiea explores the concept of filter bubbles, visualizing how our understanding of the world is shaped when we rely solely on selective information. The work highlights the impact of media curation on perception and aims to raise awareness of this issue.
Process:
-
Removing advertisements – Eliminating ads, which make up 26% of the newspaper.
-
Erasing images and illustrations – Stripping away visual elements reveals that 64% of the content consists of images, while only 10% is text.
-
Filtering out uninteresting news – After removing content deemed unengaging to the reader, only 4% of the newspaper contains new information.
This reduction process underscores how easily information can be filtered, reinforcing biases and shaping a limited worldview.
