We live in Digital Dystopia - // + there is no way back.
Almost everything we see, hear, and read will soon be machine-generated: 99.99 % artificial content - a world of reflections, replications, echoes. It sounds alarming - and it is. Yet this is also the inevitable counterweight to an age of human abundance, comfort, and self-satisfied progress.
The 1950s to the 1990s were a happy-bappy age of technological faith; now we live in its echo, where information explodes while meaning evaporates. Every dystopia, however, is only one side of an electrical system: it needs resistance + positive // negative - poles to stay alive.
I work with that tension.
Between human and machine, ethics and logic, efficiency and humanism. I design systems that do not flee from this new reality but carry it - architectures that use dystopia as material. From this friction alone can something emerge that reaches beyond the present.
