In this series, I try to exploit the working conditions of the brain to create endless fantasies through the scene of the interruption of the broadcast “distortion” that drops the difference between beauty and chaos, as I try to examine the concept of imagination as a creative ability to form a mental image of unreal things and shed light on the concept of human heritage and collective memory in our contemporary time, through three main topics: memes, apophenia and facts. These topics lead me to contemplate the cultural impact that has befallen modern societies after the presence of screens. The screen became part of the lives of ancestors around the world, and the culture, ambitions and ideas of their children were affected by what they watched. Those screens missed the broadcast a lot, and the scene of distortion appeared in them.
