“i” (v2), 2002-2003, is an animated video featuring 18 white, text-based silhouettes that pulsate in turn
on a black ground. Exploring connections between nature, technology, and the cosmos, the piece begins with an icon of a woman serving as a digital avatar. A succession of symbolic images follows—including vehicles, still-life objects, and animals—culminating in a butterfly. The looping sequence emphasizes transformation and renewal, while the imagery and embedded numbers serve as an encrypted code, actively manifesting the unity of all elements within the work—and life itself.
The number 18, associated with the Hebrew word “chai” (life), imbues the piece with spiritual resonance. This number, combined with flickering silhouettes, evokes the ancient Pythagorean vision of the music of
the spheres, where numbers and sound form the fabric of a universal order. The minimalist score, performed by a synthetic digital choir, breathes life into these forms. By singing strains of numbers, it transforms abstract mathematical relationships into a tangible harmony—one that bridges the digital realm and the natural world.
“i” (v2) also embodies the ways light reveals and shapes reality. As both a medium and metaphor, light illuminates the hidden structures of existence, transmitting thoughts, exploring dreams, and sparking connections. The cyclical animation echoes the infinite loops of renewal and transformation, grounding viewers in the eternal rhythm of creation.
This work stands as a foundation—a code manifest—for exploration, expansion, and evolution, where
the intersections of nature, technology, and mathematics reveal the sublime interconnectedness of all things.
