THAT'S THE QUESTION

Exploring the programming world and its close relationship to identity as a means of displaying information, I develop “That’s the question”, an installation piece composed by a dark screen with luminous green alternatively flashing numbers 0 and 1, posing the transcendental question on existence or inexistence. Can 0’s and 1’s, the presence of information or the absence of it, refer to identity as a means of existing? The rate of intermittency in which the 1 and the 0 are displayed on the screen will be determined by how often a certain type of post is uploaded to social media, therefore building an analogy between existence and social networks, a fundamental question in my work.
