Binary Decay represents my reflection on the gradual degradation of digital data—where once-pristine binary code erodes into visible glitches and distortions. This idea serves as a metaphor for the crumbling distinctions between the real and artificial. We’re living in a moment of exponential technological growth in artificial intelligence.
We’re at a turning point where AI and reality are converging, becoming so intertwined that soon, it may be impossible to tell one from the other. The work in Binary Decay reflects this blending, where digital decay isn’t just about data breaking down—it’s about the erosion of our understanding of what’s authentic and what’s artificial. It’s an exploration of where we are now, where the boundaries between human experience and machine intelligence are dissolving. Through Binary Decay, I’m inviting you to witness this shift—where the difference between real and artificial is fading.
