Fascinum is an Internet installation that shows the pictures from the daily news that are the most viewed (ranked from 1 to 10) on different national Yahoo websites, in real time. The viewer surfs on the infotainment tsunami and experiences the paradoxes of global thinking in a blink. This real-time vision of the topics of fascination of mankind echoes the idea of the Panopticon, a type of prison conceived by English philosopher Jeremy Bentham at the end of the Enlightenments. Its concept is to allow an observer to watch over all prisoners without the prisoners being able to tell if they are being observed or not. This “sentiment of an invisible omniscience” is to be compared with the trends that are unveiled by the global symbolic structures like Yahoo and Google as models for our contemporary and near future society, of our popmodernity.
