Information Cycles

Timeline

A news event (like the protest against the WTO summit in Seattle in 1999) makes visible the production of information related to it. But that information is part of a continuum that actually begins before the event takes place, is sometimes visible to the public and sometimes not, and may never end, just slow down over time.
