Information Overload

Information, Overload
Boston University School of Visual Arts 2025 Alumni Exhibition
808 Gallery at 808 Comm. Ave., Boston, MA
September 2 – October 18, 2025

In a world overflowing with headlines, memes, and data streams, the 2025 School of Visual Arts Alumni Exhibition, "Information, Overload," takes on the dizzying pace and power of information.

Featuring works across media by undergrad and graduate alumni from 1967 to 2025, the show explores how artists navigate the tangled web of surveillance, networks, and the relentless circulation of images and text. From critical engagement to intentional resistance, these pieces ask: How does information shape what we see, believe, and ignore—and what does it mean to opt out?
