Paradoxical Objects

  • Therese Cappelen
Physical metaphors (e.g.’heavy’ files or browser ‘window’) are commonly used to create familiarity within the digital sphere. While initially this made the digital more decipherable to us, I believe that growing complexity is asking us to think again about the language and concepts we attach to the immaterial properties of the digital landscape.

These objects playfully suggest reversing this action – an intentionally impossible translation. Here digital concepts are mapped onto the physical realm, making the immaterial material.
