Seán Hannan (1986, NL/IE) his work is driven by a never-ending curiosity about the invisible and mysterious.
In search of leaked documents, whistleblower’s testimonies, and conspiracy theories, Hannan roams the domains of computer hackers, political influencers and agitators.The informational gems he finds are used as source materials for his projects, through which Hannan explores how alternative, speculative sources of information,
such as fake news and amateur journalism, affect our emotional well being.
His work embraces the infinite, murky stream of online information in all its complexity and intricacy, and creates a world where truth and fiction are now no longer at odds with one another, and where doubt always trumps certainty.
