The exhibition explored the convergence of digitization through woven nylon pieces, digital paintings, and binaural audio recordings.
Reimagining the desktop as an evolving platform, the exhibition foregrounds interactions on and off the screen, revealing a continuous interplay between the tactile and the digital. Encoding, weaving, and visual rendering converge as binary files materialize into matter imbued with data, materiality, and duration. While files circulate endlessly as streams of binary code, their material imprints surface through textures inscribed on fabric, metal, and print. The structured logic of weaving anticipates algorithmic systems, suggesting a continuity between mechanical and computational processes. Operating on a binary system where threads are either lifted or lowered, the loom prefigures the data structures and the 1s and 0s of computation, reflecting how information is processed and stored today. Alongside these physical translations, headphones act as sensitive thresholds, revealing temporal transitions and embedded technological residues.
In the digital age, attention disperses across platforms, timelines, nodes, and interfaces. The desktop—often dismissed as a mere sandbox—emerges as an intimate space of editing, adaptation, and erasure. Screens act as porous thresholds where digital entities, identities, and economies unfold. More than passive tools, interfaces become spaces of negotiation where presence, authorship, and interaction take shape within their editability.
