Dissection of Reality Installation

Dissection of Reality is a contemporary installation about human-environmental symbiosis, a conceptual piece in the abstract form of generative digital art transformed into an object made of glass and wood and computing electronics to control LED lights and push buttons as elements of user interactivity. Reality is the sum or aggregate of all that is real or existent within a system, as opposed to that which is only imaginary. The term is also used to refer to the ontological status of things, indicating their existence. By the visual inspection of series of generative 3D images composed from modified data using a programming algorithm, the viewer can allow extraction of additional information layers. This can be done by illuminating glass panels using LED lights and buttons, choosing colour patterns and sequences of flashing. Through the audience interaction and play with the art piece, there are numerous encounters for dissection and interpretation of the reality. What are the impacts of the Anthropocene? Humans impact the environment in many ways: overproduction, pollution, burning fossil fuels, killing wild animals and deforestation. Activities like these have triggered climate change, soil erosion, poor air quality, undrinkable water and ecosystem health damage.
