> Like the Internet itself, the project is effectively endless, containing 10,000 video clips, 10,000 spoken sentences, news, tweets, charts, graphs, lists, and millions of individual data points, all presented in a classically-designed data visualization environment. To see and hear it all would take hours, but the viewing window is limited to around seven minutes... which induces a state of anxiety, triggers a fear of missing out, and totally frustrates any attempt at completeness.
Awesome execution and design, but a poor premise. This isn't inducing anxiety in anyone since we have no value for or attachment to your site, except maybe as an abstract statement... That is, unless the point is that humans are so fragile and confused that we will get nervous if you set a timer for something that we don't understand or have a reason to care about, which I suppose is a popular view of human nature in postmodern art, even though I think that's ridiculous and probably generates more anxiety than being helpful to others.
