Interractive installation, projection, Kinnect cameraThe artists transpose their study of human traces in time and space into the digital world, while also questioning the immortality of humanity in a diminishing ecosystem. In the search for human imprints of eternity in an environment that would be left behind in the face of extinction, a virtual projection is established – a framework within which the viewer departs from the fleetingness of the present. Through simultaneous recordings, it is possible to initiate a symbiosis of digital simulations that respond to human movement. The observer assumes the role of a creator. Will the omnipresent traces of humanity eventually trigger the collapse of life? Or will they become an eternal monument to human decadence?
