In their lifetime, humans will be constantly taking information from things encountered in daily basis. Naturally this is how the brain works which is intended to keep humans to keep existing and safe from dangers. Apart from these functions, humans also consciously search for and store information that is interesting to them. Either way, all information will always be stored by the brain’s complex memory system which actively distributes them to the surface so that it can be useful in the later days. As technology develops, humans are starting to use digital devices to help obtain information—including carrying out their social lives, namely through social media platforms. Easy access to a vast and unlimited flow of information has made humans accustomed to the rapid distribution of data into memory without any further processing. One phenomena that is popular, especially on social media, is FOMO (Fear of Missing Out), which is a fear that someone feels if they miss an experience that other people have first. The fact that humans have become accustomed to this situation aroused the author's interest in creating a work of art using a subversive posterinfographic medium which refers to a representation of how the working memory system works that is no longer efficient. Visual concepts will follow the structure of the human memory system according to the author's understanding. The medium of the work, namely a poster subversion of infographics, was chosen with the aim of disrupting the cycle of habits related to human dependence on digital devices today.
