With the capacity to carry knowledge from one location to another, images can be used to document power but also project power over space and its people. Exploring how remote images coerce, control, and shape our realities, Lex Brown and Graeme Arnfield question how images scale across time and space to create power, control, resistance, and fear.

In Communication, Lex Brown adopts the persona of multiple employees who work for the fictional multinational telecommunications company, ‘Omnesia’.
