I like to think that moths have always been attuned to, and intrigued by, the digital world. After all, as the story goes, the first computer bug, recorded by Grace Hopper, was caused by a moth curiously flying in and subsequently disrupting the machine.
Mirroring the way moths navigate by light, the work produces a hypnotic state where the moth becomes a conduit, drawing in the viewer through a pixellated, digital wormhole linking the physical and the digital.
This work itself is an expanded form of sculpture. The process of making this work involved reconfiguring a 3D-scanned model of a moth. Each point in space that makes up the object has been translated into a single pixel within each frame. Translating the object into a video allows for a new way of seeing an object.
It’s intensely representational, yet incredibly abstract. A rolling stream of pixels spilling over each other. Each one containg a fraction of the moth.
