This is a piece about the FAANGs (facebook, amazon, apple, netflix, google) and the use of our personal data. It ties in with the Cambridge Analytica scandal of 2018 and ongoing issues and concerns around the collection, use and potential misuse of information about all of us by the vast range of companies collecting our data and using it for everything from advertising goods, to directing political messages etc.
The glass is hand blown and bent by me. (I didn’t add the electrodes or fill it with gas though).
