Still Attempting to

The works in the series Still Attempting to speculate on digital media storage and how historical records have become, in large part, dependent on the availability of electricity. The installation features a 3D rendered photograph and a two-channel video that weave together physical and virtual modes of historical traces. The work was installed inside a decommissioned water filtration plant – a site of total technological obsolescence.
