A light display

About

Monolith is a large-scale installation that explores our present and future relationship with data and screens, combining light, sound, and context with unprecedented results.

Monolith pays homage to Stanley Kubrick's classic 2001: A Space Odyssey and serves as a metaphor for the current ubiquity of screens. The screen is the magic mirror where we construct our persona, and it shapes an ever-increasing part of our reality. It is integrated into our lives to a degree that, until recently, was inconceivable.

The enormous potential of the screen for disruption, emancipation, and the propagation of genuine ideas disappears under a deluge of empty content. The constant updating of the screen keeps us dazed. The screen gives us access to everything, but at the same time it chains us.

Monolith questions this new reality and the incessant intrusion into our personal information. Have we already reached the point where humans are becoming data? How will we deal with the integration of bodies and devices?
