Atomic Memory and the Future Human
نویسنده
چکیده
Carbon is the basic building block of all known life. The continuous transformation of carbon compounds on Earth forms the carbon cycle, a process that maintains terrestrial life. By taking the carbon cycle as an outgoing point, I have created two computer-animated works. Based on Primo Levi’s writing on the carbon atom (Levi 1984), the work Atom C (Figures 1 and 2) maps the atom’s journey through the biosphere, only to end up in the human brain where it makes part of our consciousness. A second piece entitled Photophilia (Figures 3 and 4) proposes a future of human evolution towards a more sustainable existence.
