a video installation that encapsulates the intersection of nature,
technology, and the pursuit of enlightenment. This piece consists of
two identical screens, both immersed in a non-conductive cooling
agent commonly utilized in cryptocurrency mining operations. The
choice of medium is a nod to contemporary technological practices,
creating a bridge between the digital and the natural worlds.
symbolic of transformation and the relentless human quest for
knowledge and light—engaged in a Sisyphean pursuit of a fluorescent
light. This digital moth, drawn to the brilliance of the light, embodies
a primal instinct, reflecting our own intrinsic attractions and pursuits.
Yet, every time the moth nears its goal, the light extinguishes,
plunging the scene into darkness. The narrative then shifts to the
second screen, where viewers witness the moth's ongoing quest
through night vision, adding an eerie, persistent glow to the pursuit.
This alternation between visibility and invisibility, light and darkness,
is not merely a technical maneuver but a profound metaphor for the
human condition. The moth's unending journey towards the light,
thwarted at the moment of achievement, mirrors our own cycles
of desire, effort, and often, disappointment. The use of cooling
agents, essential for sustaining high-performance computing yet
here repurposed to house a tale of natural endeavor, further layers
the work with themes of adaptation and the melding of organic and
synthetic realms.
inevitability of obstacles, and the beauty inherent in the pursuit itself.
Through this immersive installation, the artist posits that it is within
this cycle of seeking and striving that life's most profound reflections
are revealed, urging viewers to consider the value of the journey over
the destination.
