A digital ode to decay

An audiovisual experience in collaboration with Tsingyun Zhang, which deals with the translation of physical decay to the preservation in digital space through technologies such as 3D scanning.

Tsingyun Zhang writes

My graduation project entitled "A Digital Ode to Decay," is an audio-visual experience that explores physical and digital decay. I view decay as a transformative process that accelerates reincarnation rather than a mere gradual loss of information. The project is created with the intention of respecting and learning from non-human intelligence, including fungi, plants, and animals. It also aims to embrace the shadow of technology.

The work is presented through 2 projectors and 5 loudspeakers.
