This Day, 2003: insomnia, yoga, prozac focuses on the daily experience of living and navigating in an information-saturated world. It investigates the role of information technologies in forming cultural and personal narratives. The fragmented, undifferentiated information that is associated with information technologies affects our daily perceptions. These perceptions and experiences inform the narratives that reflect our understanding of the world.

This Day, 2003: insomnia, yoga, prozac is a spatial experience. It amplifies the lived interaction between material space and information space. This Day creates an immersive environment in which viewers construct their own narrative as they walk through the space. The process of information reception – selecting, connecting, and subordination – is transferred to our physical spaces. This sense of continual motion and constant flow of information cause an inability to situate meaning and limits our ability to act.
