DATA LAKE

Is the time spent on the digital platform stored somewhere and transformed into the fuel of industry? This practice explores such questions and conditions.

The time I spent on the digital platform is stored as data. Technology companies continuously design addiction and gains data. The work explores how technology exploits our time and how interference to time is permeating our lives. The installation takes the form of a lake from the Data Lake, which is a popular data storage for the enterprise. And it uses water as an element of nature. The amount of time and data that corresponds to the usage of several major social media platforms is reproduced by the difference in the amount of water on each tank. The video How to be Insensitive (2018) is played. The video disassembles the popular content on the video platform and recreates its features. The video that stimulates the senses delivers creepy sounds and scenes that give tactile satisfaction.

The displaying of the converting of time and data into natural objects like water insists on the concept of the existence of human beings in Asian philosophy that consider human beings as part of nature, not part of the social system.
