What is with all the hate?
Oct 29-Nov 2 2008
Dancemakers Centre for Creation
This work is inspired by stumbling upon the venomous hateful comments in internet forums. By being ‘anonymous’, many people are for some reason able to spew their frustrations and anger in the most vile manner. Perhaps it is with this outlet to purge, people are then able to engage as a member of society in a civilized manner. What is with all the hate?
