for becoming is the synthesis of being and not-being

  • Toby Wilson
‘for becoming is the synthesis of being and not-being’ aims to investigate the relationship between the environment and technological culture. This work considers various strategies of representation within technological systems. Incorporating historical elements from both Ordovician and Anthropocene epoch’s, ‘for becoming is the synthesis of being and not-being’ uses geology to confront its own stages of simulation. The relic of the rock becomes a testament to history’s past, suggesting natural progression while being immortalised within a digital space. Through the convergence of the real and the virtual, this work explores the post-analogue experience by building hybrids of representation.
