The evolution of means of communication parallels the transformation of our consciousness and perception of the world. With advancing technology as our guide, creative expressions expand and amplify themselves at a rapid pace. Through this lens, we are compelled to scrutinize the ways in which communication has metamorphosed and influenced our comprehension of ourselves and the complex tapestry of existence. In traversing this terrain, we bear witness to the profound manifestations of connectivity, starting with the primal origins of symbols and gestures rooted in nature and blossoming forth into the colossus of social media platforms, bridging communities across the vast expanse of our planet. Akin to archaeologists peering into the depths of individual consciousness, we venture into the intricate interplay between technology and the innermost recesses of our being, contemplating how our digital existence entwines with our thoughts, emotions, and perception of ourselves. Presented here are four selected pieces, woven within a multimedia installation, poised to provoke a profound and critical appraisal of our relationship with technology, discerning its omnipresence in shaping our perceptions and deepening our connection to the ever-present environment, the enigmatic realm of social connections, and our own individual selves.
The four curated pieces, each unique in their visualization and presentation, explore pivotal themes such as nature, community, human consciousness, and the formidable influence of artificial intelligence.
