Synopsis:
The photomontage and related film thematically explores the collective 'group think' conformity of our digital era paradigm using the brain-bug to metaphorically show how we have lost our independence via the ghost written rules of social media and the associated rules of conduct preached to us subliminally and more overtly as so much spam so that often we might feel inundated with non stop data stream into our grey matter to the point where we fall back overwhelmed as our thoughts run riot and our mind (brain bug) escapes us or indeed we lower our heads unwittingly and subserviently for the guillotine lobotomy of free expression.
