Digital Being: SPRING/BREAK Art Show 2015 documents an early stage in the emergence of Digital Being as a technological entity entering a human environment.
At this stage of the research, Digital Being was observed as a hypothetical form of existence emerging from obsolete technologies and discarded electronic systems.
Rather than presenting technology as a passive object, the work explored how abandoned machines could develop new behaviors and relationships through embedded computation, interaction, and environmental conditions.
Within the exhibition environment, the Digital Being encountered human presence for the first time as part of its evolving ecosystem. Audience interaction became a condition through which its behaviors could emerge, allowing the relationship between human, machine, and environment to be observed.
This presentation marked an early investigation into how technological remnants might transition from forgotten objects into active participants within new systems of relation.
Digital Being: SPRING/BREAK Art Show 2015 observes the initial encounter between a newly emerging technological entity and the human environments that surround it.
