Karin Ferrari, Hyperconnected (The Whole Picture), 2017. [Image Description: Dozens of circles are clustered together (some small and some large, some gray and some with multiple colors) and connected by a diagram comprised of gray, pink, and purple lines against an eggplant background. Within each circle are words inclusive of “oroborus,” “internet,” “DARPA,” and “Phoenix.” Within the lines, tiny, illegible words are written. Towards the left bottom is a neon green rectangle with “DNA upgrade” written in pink, gothic lettering.]
