In a post-modern society, technology has enabled the increase in media’s reach and frequency to the point that it appears transparent in our daily life—being almost invisible. In a media landscape that appears invisible, this thesis explores the uncertainty and possibilities of failure through the analysis of the signifier and the signified in analog and digital processes by using different media and devices. It investigates the nuances of failure aiming at developing a new way of seeing.
