Planet Series, 2025 Acrylic, miniature figure, NFC chip |
This body of work reflects on our relationship with space, the data we extract from it, and the paradox of our existence—insignificant yet impactful, explorers yet polluters, creators yet simulations.
The ready-made block toy references Nick Bostrom’s simulation theory—that our reality may be a construct, much like a carefully assembled pixelized world. The astronaut, a mass-produced plastic figure, also comments on the human footprint in the universe.
Embedded behind the figure is a near-field communication (NFC) chip that, when scanned, triggers data sonification—converting actual space telemetry into sound. This interactive layer bridges art and technology, inviting the viewer not only to see but also hear. The painting becomes more than a visual piece; it is an evolving experience, resonating with the frequencies of the cosmos.
