Monitored Earth (2026)
The display cases within the museum stand empty and idle. Instead of encountering exhibited objects, visitors are confronted with the reflections of drone footage cast upon the glass of the vitrines. These visuals observe nature not through a human eye, but through the lens of a machine that measures, aestheticizes, and rapidly scans to exploit. Upon the surfaces of these empty cases, visitors watch the reflections of the machine’s voracious gaze.
