“Transient data” (2024) reflects on the transmission of knowledge over the course of human history and how it can be both preserved and lost through new technologies. While a typewriter draws the image of one of the most important cultural-historical objects - a vessel - it is already being pulled through a shredder and defibered on the other side. The cycle suggests progress and illustrates how tools and technologies change and adapt to new needs - and at the same time reminds us of the erosion and transformation of materials over time.
