The collection of Thai newspaper collage has been made daily since the first day of military coup in 2014 until the day of national election. It has slowly developed into something like big data of traditional propaganda. After one of the most corrupt elections in the Thai history, the junta— whose blood was washed out through the electoral democracy—became the elected government. Since the old regime refuses to grant a real freedom to the new generation, the morbid symptoms has then arisen.

Whilst the traditional media is highly controlled by the government, young people and politically active Thais opt for the digital platform to battle: fact-check, opinions, and wild expressions. Unlike propaganda in traditional media, what determines a reality of digital platforms is the politics of algorithms. Give Us A Little More Time by Chulayarnnon Siriphol is thus a manifestation of disparate ontologies of media, and how the sense of the worlds is being made through different views.
