Mechatronic installation with live video

screens, circuit boards, apples, radars, motors, 
banana leaves, sunflower, tobacco, 
reflective paper, lamps, clocks

3840 * 2160, stereo sound, color
2.6 * 1.5 * 2.1 m


The impact of resource consumption on the environment is visualized through images by detecting short frequency signals of electromagnetic waves travelling in the natural environment and converting them into digital electrical signals to influence the images in the installation. We need to acknowledge that technology is not only a source of environmental solutions, but also has potential negative environmental impacts, and that only by being aware of this can humanity begin to effectively transition to a more sustainable future, and that digital environmentalism is an idea that can be well balanced. The seemingly immaterial concepts of digital, cloud, and bits are actually harming the environment and depleting natural resources all the time, usually when suddenly a technology company directly and self-righteously modifies the natural environment.

通过雷达探测自然环境中游走的电磁波短频信号并将其转化为数字电信号去影响装置中的影像,从而将消耗资源对于环境的影响通过影像进行可视化。我们需要承认,技术不仅是环境解决方案的来源,且还具有潜在的负面环境影响,唯有注意到这个问题,人类才能开始有效过渡到更可持续的未来,数字环保主义便是一种可以很好平衡的思想。数字,云,比特这些看似非物质的概念其实是在无时无刻的在对环境产生伤害与消耗自然资源,通常是突然有科技公司直接对自然环境进行自以为是的改造。
