# BUT WHAT IS PRESS DOING

We're inundated with information of all kinds, and digital technology is omnipresent. Communication and information are mostly transmitted via the Internet bubble, with browsers, messaging portals, e-commerce, social networks and newsletters.

Starting with the media themselves, I developed codes to transcribe my sensations before and after reading, by tearing, cutting and crumpling the paper. Codes to express the density or poverty of the subjects treated, the depth or superficiality of the content, or the calm or violence of the words and visuals.
