I stared at myself in the mirror yesterday, observing the wear and tear of time - the newly sprouted grey hairs, the fine lines creeping out from the creases of my eyes, the once-supple skin reduced to a rough hide… I have changed.
In my… work I explore notions of singularity, concepts of time and patterns of change. Today, modernity requires that each of us navigate a blizzard of information. How this maelstrom of data is interpreted and synthesized constructs an individual’s paradigm. However, the qualities of the data are subject to a Catch-22: while the data works to describe an individual’s paradigm, an individual’s paradigm likewise works to describe the data. With so much accessible information, yet so little certainty, are our interpretations more complex or confused, more varied or more refined? Is the course of progress more accessible, or more elusive?
