Mirages

Mirages

Inspired by one of the most beguiling visual phenomena, Mirages investigates light as both a source of knowledge and illusion. The multichannel video installations explore Vilém Flusser's premise that the distinction between reality and its digital representations is becoming increasingly unstable and draws on scientific research into light and optoelectronics. By considering the screen as the technological counterpart to the mirage, Mirages asks what it means for something to be materially present yet appear as something else and whether our observable world has ever been as tangible as we think.
