ABOUT

We live in a slowly becoming digital era. Everything is digitized and secluded. A sense of company has become our phones and not people anymore. We rely on technology for everything. Although a person sitting right next to us would be talking, we hardly tend to listen and would rather just message someone because that seems a lot easier. We hardly ever use our ears or mouth anymore. We in today's world listen with our eyes and not ears. When asked what the world is made of, we say atoms and molecules. But today I think the world is made of Voxels (3D pixels). This piece represents the long lost part of a gramophone, the listening part. It is made up of small pieces building up to form a whole. The viewer has their ear near the opening to hear tiny whispers within. This is a complicated piece and hence would make the viewer wonder as to why the artist would go through so much trouble to construct something so simple with complicated techniques. Through the piece, my hope is that every one of us would go home and listen and talk to each other while having dinner; maybe that's all it takes to change the scenario of the world today.
