Geopixel 2 - Virus is a design fiction artifact from a far digital future where cyberspace dominates the built environment. It is a slice of speculative rock from a Digital Exomoon that revolves around the planet in the post-anthropocene future. In this future, rocks are naturally imbued with plastic due to its excess in the anthropocene era. The occupants of this time use it as containers of supercomputers and as data storage vessels. The tectonics formed by the merge of 3D printed plastic and natural rock formations allow for different uses ranging from cable management, thermal coolant vessels and user personalization nooks. The artist aims to fictionalize a hypothetical future to probe and react to situations that are present in our contemporary culture. The piece serves as a meditation on the relationship of technology, humans, the immediate environment and digital culture. It aspires to instigate conversations on how these four factors are slowly merging with the flourishing of each in our modern day.
