“As We Continue” is a passively interactive installation. A machine coldly performing what it has been programmed for: Knowing, and remembering through time human presence or abscence according to its computer brain.
Concretely, it is a really simple device. The piece is made out of two mechanical time counters mounted on top of each other, one of which is running as soon as the machine detects one’s presence while the other is triggered by the absence of the observer.
“As We Continue” is a waiting piece, a running step among my exploration of technology and time.

As we continue shaping them, as they continue changing us.
