Connection Has Timed Out, 2015 - ongoing

The beauty of this work lies in its simplicity. Usually, we experience the Internet as something so an unimaginably vast and complex that we substitute the image of the cloud for it. Here it's made visible, reduced to its material core, from the source of energy powering the server to the screen displaying the information to the user. The energy is provided by a solar panel, making the information's availability contingent on the rhythms of the sun at the place of exhibition.
