About the project:
The Beauty Inside The Magic of Invisible Screen. This was my final project during my fabrica residency.
We need technology. Technology needs us.
Dead electronics/obsolete technology is more beautiful than working electronics because when they are dead and obsolete they are awake to not function as they suppose to, they can get used in multiple ways. They just need human interaction/efforts to show their magic. My concept is to use/hack obsolete technology/dead electronics to make them function in creatively different ways, and give them a different purpose, a life back.
The Beauty Inside is an interactive installation to understand human interaction/efforts are important to make dead electronics/obsolete technology show the beautiful magic. The installation is made of obsolete technology and e-waste found from an event production company near Fabrica: LCD monitors.
LCD monitors were once a breakthrough technology, but as it happens to any technology sooner or later, alternatives are being developed that push it into the background. This installation is describing relation between human and technology and how with humans basic senses now technology is the extension of it.

My Role:
I made this project <3.
From its initial concept to execution. This included idea generation, installation design and setup, animation creation for the LCD screens, and even the production of the special glasses required for user engagement. My comprehensive involvement ensured that the project seamlessly came to life, delivering the message that technology and humans are interdependent: "Technology needs Us, We need Technology.
Glimpse of Just Passing Through exhibition!

SETUP:
SETUP:
There are six LCD monitors in this installation. Five of them symbolize the five fundamental human senses, while the sixth LCD screen represents technology as an extension of these five senses, reflecting its integration into our daily lives.
Initially, all the user sees is a blank white screen. To engage with the installation, one must don a pair of glasses. Through these glasses, the user is immersed in art that explores the intersection of human senses and technology displayed on the LCD screens. Without the glasses, all they perceive is the same blank white screen.
This interactive installation underscores the significance of human interaction in unlocking the enchantment of both cutting-edge and obsolete electronic technology, including e-waste. It serves as a testament to the profound magic that lies within our relationship with technology and electronics.
The end screen represents the concept of the installation by showcasing
“Technology needs Us, We need Technology”.
