In an age of information, ignorance is a choice.
— Donny Miller

This video work resurrects Ronny Chieng’s raw, visceral response to climate data ignorance from The Daily Show, transforming an ephemeral television moment into a potent statement about information fatigue and environmental communication. By exposing digital media’s conflicting role—simultaneously presenting and neutralizing critical environmental data—the piece captures collective psychological exhaustion. As the climate graphic shatters under repeated physical impact, it becomes a metaphorical embodiment of performative despair confronting overwhelming scientific evidence.
