The project illustrates the methodology of connecting various kinds of information in a system consisting of references of the fetishistic iconography of popular culture that represent a real part of the everyday of the society of spectacle. Through computer-generated images, these references represent the objectification and trivialization of the body image, combined with simplified and idealized references to science and technology, and through a mediated perspective posit themselves as representative fetishes. System Cassio:pia is a metaphor of insight into the reality of fiction ? a reflection of a disturbance in the system of the everyday environment that is supposedly based on stability and clearly structured information. These ?synthetic? structures are countered by a dramatic astrophysical phenomenon, while the identification of the consumer/user with the System Cassio:pia indirectly redefines the problem of mass media control over the individual. The phenomena of open source software and piracy within the Web have effected a ?democratization? of the digital, opening the door for varied (artistic) production but also allowing for the development of a broad social dynamic that enables the creation of networks ? digital communities that are developing into real zones of life and communication, where the desire for connectivity and equality is becoming the central point of a user?s identification. Through symbols that are the result of global communications and media technology and through formal deconstruction of these images, System Cassio:pia questions the various methods of media manipulation, which is reflected by the digitally modified material from e.g. YouTube (but originating from television, film, advertising and computer graphics) that we encounter every day.
