- Depiction:
Prelude serves as the conceptual foundation for Quantised Bits of Light till It Added to a Whole, introducing key themes of cyborg identity, digital embodiment, and algorithmic control. The work reimagines the birth of a cyborg, placing the viewer within its cyborg’s body. The piece explores the moment of awakening, resistance, and self-awareness within a programmed system.
Set within a digital landscape, the newly formed cyborg encounters an enigmatic creator who questions its existence. Rather than responding with obedience, the cyborg meets these inquiries with sarcastic, defiant movements, challenging the authority that seeks to define it. This moment of friction—between machine logic and emergent selfhood—sets the stage for the deeper exploration of autonomy, agency, and perception in Quantised Bits of Light till It Added to a Whole.
