Everything Is Still Running II

Single-channel video installation, monitor, mirrored acrylic

Dimensions variable

The work overlays real grasslands, forests, and man-made structures with a continuously rotating vortex of data. Images, data, and visual residue that once belonged within digital systems begin to merge with the physical landscape.

In this work, the virtual is no longer another layer of space contained within screens, devices, or networks. Instead, it begins to settle over reality like a new kind of terrain or weather, altering the way reality itself is perceived. Physical space remains present, but it can no longer be fully separated from digital imagery.
