Description

Detailed minimalism (an artistic technique) – the use of minor and minimal lines and images to portray multiple expressions and ideas.

The one individual bending over and vomiting yellow represents the purging now that all of the monitors have been darkened behind them. Yellow represents “yellow journalism.” The person holding up his hands at the other individual’s purging their system of the yellow journalism suggests that “Hey, look, this is only one of the things that needs to be purged from mainstream media,” implying that it might only be a symptom of a larger problem. So, the phrase, “don’t get me to lyin’,” refers to the question how do we vet the media and how is the information crafted to influence us emotionally in order to sway our opinion a certain way? This phrase also suggests that other people, depending on his or her perspective, could see one truth as a lie. In other words, “My opinion about a topic or argument might make you sick.”
