we must not believe in 'the metal' any longer. there is no such thing as a '5nm transistor'. there are no underlying electronics, no native instruction set, just layer after layer of ever-finer microarchitectures tapering off, at their limit, into the Platonic realm. we have never truly seen an implementation of an abstract machine in actuality.

Heart Space by Krista Kim

Far from the idea that technology distances us, Heart Space is a meditation on unity. The installation invites each visitor to take part and witness their own heartbeat rendered into art. From calming yellows and serene greens to intense reds, the shifting colours respond to emotional states, creating a dynamic artwork that evolves with every new participant.

In honour of a post I just saw: What kind of art would your character put on the walls of thir living space? What about their work space?

Everything you see here and more. They're printing stuff out at the library, taking rubbings and impressions, hanging up generic prints from the frame section at goodwill. There is a mannequin assembled from many parts. Street signs. Leaves, branches, weeds in pots. Pictures of their friends. They will trade things for art from their friends. Stickers. Textiles. Magazine clippings. Things in the trash. They're buying frames with the sample image still in them and hanging them up as is or adding a smaller image to the side. Or just tacking that stuff to the wall. They like to wind string or yarn between pieces they think should be appreciated in the context of each other, but may be separated by space or time; i.e. they found/bought/assembled one piece of art, put many other things up between then and the acquisition of the other piece(s). Sometimes they will rearrange their collection to suit proximity but other times they will create linkages, this decision may seem arbitrary to the outsider but is significant to them.

Every inch, floor to ceiling is covered in Stuff. Their collection is always in flux; a couple staples may stay but the rest changes. They want to preserve the experience of Everything, they want the world in a box. They don't want to feel cut off. Zadkiel the angel loves the feeling of immersion, they want to lie close to the world and feel it breathing always. Zadkiel the host cannot stand to be in a bare-walled room with the door shut.

Entryways and windows remain unobstructed but the edges might be softened. Corners are broken up by larger pieces. Despite being a very cluttered room, it can feel quite open because they will often color group things to create the impression of a horizon when taken as a gestalt.

They have no designated workspace.
