5. Rabbit Hole
2025
Wood, plexiglass, digital and film photography, cyanotype, projection mapping, weaving, found images and information This installation employs the framework of research-based art––as defined by Claire Bishop ––to interrogate how the internet age is changing our modes of research and the ways we metabolize information. The work invites viewers to conduct research with the materials by engaging with the physical manifestation of a digital rabbit hole. The work appears as a library of both connected and unconnected ideas, not unlike the internet. This artwork is therefore a 3D/analog hyperlink, where seemingly random elements and materials are connected to each other due to their spatial relationships, i.e. being placed next to each other on the wooden tables I constructed. This artwork allows people to reconsider how they engage with information, especially on the internet, where disparate pieces are linked by gratuitous and often incorrect explanations often generated by artificial intelligence softwares. The work investigates the nature of truth and research in our digital age.
