He offers a technological seashell through which, in place of the murmuring of the ocean, we hear only the emptiness of digital feedback. Information comes to us without pause, we may be knocked sensless by it. Simpson celebrates our inability to fully grasp the frenetic nature of our time fueld by technological advances. Simultaneously, he offers us both a warning and reassurance about the future. His images and videos subvert our obsession with disaster (as encouraged and fed by mass media) by not showing the event, the disaster itself, but the corpse of it, a site for post-apocolyptic contemplation. Yaaaahoo Major Kong."</p> <p style="margin-left: 60px;">- Simone Douglass and Jim Ramer.</p>
