None of the Above

Description
4K audio/video installation (16 x 9) projected in a vertical orientation.
The minimum vertical dimension is 305 cm. The artist recites in real time a reflective text that playfully feeds back on itself between the absolute values of ones and zeros, as echoed by the movements of the hands.
From the idiomatic triad (see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil), a visceral portrait emerges of an evolutionary loop aggressively cut with superimposed patterns of temporal displacement.
