This led me to work with a digital human figure instead of real bodies. She inhabits a fully constructed, machine-oriented environment, where every gesture must be programmed. Because the algorithm anticipates and updates faster than she can “respond,” a slight latency always appears (a small gap where human affect and machinic logic fall out of sync). This latency becomes the emotional material of the work.
TRIAXIAL FIELD translates this tension into a video-sculpture composed of three asynchronous systems. Each system moves at its own rhythm, forming three axes of coexistence. When their delays accidentally align, the entire space trembles like a breath. This moment of resonance is not harmony, but a fragile coexistence formed inside tension.
Through these unstable alignments, the work redefines belonging not as stability, but as continuous negotiation: a protocol of coexistence built through visibility and withdrawal, discipline and softness, automation and emotion—a living tension that we constantly inhabit in a world increasingly designed for machines.
