In 'Chapter I: The Discovery' the visitor discovers a sci-fi geometric object which outputs a code of light and sounds. The work questions the viewers perception - the truth of representation - outlining a journey from the initial visioning of a series of videos with synthetic images and ending up in an encounter with a physical interactive object which co-opts information flows, sound and light transmission. Within the context of the work, rather than answering essential philosophical questions such as, How can technological advances be controlled? On what ethical bases can its purposes be chosen? Who is entitled to decide on the ultimate mission of machines? Can machines destroy us?. This installation, on the contrary, is about reformulating those modern philosophical questions through the use of images associated with the popular culture of science fiction. The sculpture responds to presence, demonstrating a will to communicate.
