DECOMPOSITIONSFOR COMPUTERS

Embarking on a journey through the realms of techno-social activities, this project seeks to expose the unseen consequences of our digital footprint. By examining case studies of data waste in personal and corporate spheres, we endeavor to map the evolving landscape of our digital detritus. The ultimate goal is the creation of a dynamic, generative audiovisual artwork—an immersive installation that breathes life into the overlooked remnants of our online activities. Digital waste, an environmental challenge stemming from poor data stewardship, becomes the focal point, with a spotlight on the carbon emissions and energy consumption inherent in the data-driven infrastructures of tech giants.
