01	Visual Essay	RISE AND OPTIMISE	Art Direction; AI
[WE ARE THE LAST GENERATION TO DIE] THE AGE OF EARTHQUAKES Living forever digitally has become a new reality. Online immortality is pushing us towards self optimisation. Optimise and Rise is a reference to the arcade where modernity was first seen through glass (Walter Benjamin, Passage des Panoramas) These images look at the present in the same way, a panoramic overview of the present, artefacts on display- already archive, already relic, already distant, already collectible, almost a ruin, arranged behind a screen.
02	Visual Essay	UNPAIR DEVICE	Art Direction; AI
DIGITAL ENDS & CHANGE OF STATUS HOW DO DEVICES DETACH WHEN THEIR USERS ARE NO LONGER CONNECTED? Technologies brought us new orders and behaviours. Once devices meet and merge, they orchestrate a choreographic system of movement, sound and image. A new fraction of reality emerges- with that a new relationship that goes beyond the device users, but within the devices itself. Digital permanence and emotional haunting. Everything we ever typed, saved or sent, exists somewhere online. The digital footprint comes to haunt us. Recurring contacts become uninvited guests. How long does it take for a device to lose familiarity with a place, a face, a profile? For an algorithm to stop suggesting things that once meant home? The digital era has brought us new ways of wounding. Emotional terror just one click away from recollecting feelings on a loop followed by sequences of internal monologues, until time, the only remaining analogue tool, brings its balsam to the turmoil.
