ROKEN
EWS
y Mamadou Sow, 2025
eletext, once a tool for delivering
ews in rigid blocks of text. I filled
t with keywords from current
vents places, objects, fragments of
lobal affairs until the screen becamen
n archive of the present. Then I deli-
erately corrupted the file through
hance, producing glitches: broken let-
ers, bursts of color, fractured mea-
ing. The result looks like a distorted
ews feed, half legible, half noise. It
irrors how today s news often reaches
s: fragmented, overwhelming, unrelia-
le. The flow of global information
tself appears as a permanent glitch,
here clarity and distortion collapse
nto one.
