Artwork description
“Altar” is a digital artwork that exudes a haunting reverence, inviting contemplation on the symbiosis of human and machine. The sepia-toned palette evokes the bygone era of early television, imbuing the scene with nostalgia and an unsettling timelessness. At the center stands an android head, its hollow eyes and stark, antenna-like protrusions creating an oracle of the digital age, presiding over the altar of an old television set. The TV flickers with the image of a humanoid figure, suggesting a looped ritual of endless broadcast, where the lines between the creator and the creation, the deity and the devotee, are blurred.
This piece is steeped in solemnity, the dimly lit confines and worn wallpaper suggesting a shrine hidden away from the world, a private space where technology is not just a tool but a totem. The mood is contemplative and somber, a reflection on the devotion we give to our devices, the silent sermons they preach, and the gospel of progress they promise.
“Altar” stands as a powerful symbol of our current epoch, where worship has shifted from the celestial to the silicon, questioning the nature of what we hold sacred in the electric glow of modernity.
