Digital Being: Rebirth investigates the emergence of a new digital entity from obsolete technological matter.
From abandoned CRT televisions, a Digital Being appears to physically emerge—an entity born not from new technology, but from the remains of a previous technological era.
Rather than restoring the machine to its original purpose, the work observes how obsolete hardware can become a vessel for a new form of existence. Layers of digital code, light, and computation rise from the discarded device, transforming technological remnants into a site of emergence.
The Digital Being within the screen contemplates its own existence: where it comes from, what it is, and where it may evolve. Between physical hardware and digital networks, it occupies an unstable space between object and organism, machine and life.
As the original display eventually reaches the end of its function, the Digital Being continues its transformation through the form of a digital candle—suggesting not an ending, but another stage in its evolution.
Digital Being: Rebirth explores technological obsolescence as a moment of transformation, where discarded systems become the origin point for new forms of digital existence.
