Placebo

Unapologetically opportunistic, Tallur trawls the flotsam of current affauis and the Internet to harvest outlandish ideas, rumours and hoaxes, while at the same time picking up news stories that offer insight into economic processes. Medical glossaries, market analyses, anecdotes about iconic design, disputes over intellectual property, spiritual formulae and moral tales, reports about technological disasters and environmental degradation - all these and more are fodder for his omnivorous imagination. Tallur thrives on the seeming anachronism of a precisely honed scattergun approach, capitalising equally on the mundane and the epiphanous.
