DESIGN NAME: Vestibule (Circuit II)
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Multi-screen installation
INSPIRATION: Video games and science fiction aesthetics.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: VESTIBULE is a 6-screen installation, with two opposing triptychs. The work examines the concept of "What If You Created Artificial Life And It Started Worshipping You". The animation work blends cold mechanical complexity from the realm of science fiction with ideas of synthetic biology and the ancient tribal quest for transcendence, translating political, religious and ecological reflections into a digital 3D world that he crafts with more technical sophistication each time. A universe that is inhabited by unseen entities of artificial intelligence and primal worship.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The installation is a contemplative space. The viewer deambulates between the triptychs.
