Signal 1.1 - Deposition

Complex yet immediate and primordial emotions such as terror, anxiety, nostalgia are constantly triggered in jolts by loud and shocking (or most times simply confusing and out of context) imagery on the internet and SNS.
As humans, we willingly hacked our ancestral emotional system - evolved in the specific context of survival in the wilderness - to interact with virtual structures that overwhelm it in terms of scale and extent.
The series "Signal" is a speculation into how to convey the most intense emotional response through the least amount of hyperrealistic and/or figurative information - testing
our innate, animalistic push towards recognition.
Shiny, multiple, perfect abstract shapes overwhelm and engulf small pieces of flesh, which end up acting as beacons, or signals, for immediate emotional intuition.
This dychotomy of virtual vs real is a reflection into social media as glamourized dystopia, and into how animals and humans reflect their identity onto their own bodies.
