University Project
Course “Thesis Studio and Who Comes After the Human?” at Parsons, The New School.
2022/05
The internet constantly surrounds us. It has become such a given that we do not even appreciate the wonder this technology enables us to anymore. At the same time, the internet is constantly changing. The internet from 20 years ago is vastly different from today and very likely that this will remain true for the following years. Like a life form, the internet is evolving, adapting to its environment.
This is a thought experiment in which the internet is represented as an alien life form. The artifact represents the interaction that the internet has with us, humans. It is purposefully kept vague and does not reveal the underlying inspiration to leave the viewer puzzled, only hinting at its origin. The project aspires that eventually, the true meaning is realized, and this technology gets appreciated a little bit more again.
