SPECTRA

Film


The gradual adaptation towards viewing technologies as part of us, has allowed us to grow and move freely over digital space. The only way one may navigate through the digital maze is by hand. Hand as we know, no longer serves the function as tool, but a gateway to the new world, a key to information.

The physical interaction / expression the device created is minimal yet crucial. We learn how to use a new device, grow and adapt to the mechanism of that specific device, the way to interact is seemingly an language of itself. A physical ritual is formed, along with new set of emotions dedicate to what’s in our hand. All driven by content the device displays or when it simply disappoints us. (Fails to perform)
When information simply is not within reach, one can only hope for the best. An lit up interface on a rectangular slab opens a world within itself, but when the screen no longer lights up when we need, then what option do we have?
