Saved

Saved comprises a 5x5 grid of rectangles similar in format to the arrays of monitors used by security guards for 24 hour surveillance. In real life, each rectangle would be an unsleeping eye providing a continuous data stream for scrutiny and oversight.
It runs for 4'33" in homage to John Cage, whose performative musical silence of that duration invited us to step back and consider not the work of the musicians but the ambient sounds of their surroundings. Saved provides a similar invitation, to disconnect for a short while and reflect on the ambient, endless flow of bytes that now encircles the world. |
