<Horizontal Communication> (2020) is a research-based digital footage that originates from the experience of the contemporary body transitioning from a material existence to an immaterial one in a society where digital has become an inevitable means of communication. This work encapsulates various layers of cosmology. As forms in our surroundings, such as objects, places, time, and distance, gradually dematerialize, humanity is confronted with the experience of transforming into data. This curiosity explores how the essence of nature can be shaped within digital devices, especially when individuals are replaced by material.
Visually, it reflects the movement of ants. Ants are cooperative, organic, and resilient beings. The digital algorithms we find useful also draw inspiration from the order of ants and have historically imparted much wisdom to humanity. Ants are the sole survivors of the 1991 artificial biosphere experiment, an attempt to transcend ecosystems. The artist expresses profound admiration and respect for them, aiming to observe what horizontal relationships entail and the rhythm from which cooperation originates. This mirrors the survival rhythm in today's digitally composed artificial biosphere.
