STATEMENT

data_transform reflects on the translation of perceived reality into data.

Starting from directly captured footage of trivial, everyday scenes, the work subjects bodies and environments to computational operations that render them analyzable, fragmenting presence and reorganizing it as information.

In this shift, lived experience becomes computable information. Figures no longer appear as coherent entities, but as variable configurations defined by parameters and relations.

Echoing the logic of surveillance systems, the work asks what it means to be visible only when one can be detected, recorded, and processed. Identity emerges from what is captured and interpreted by the system, while what falls outside these conditions remains unseen.

The work also carries the melancholy of knowing oneself no longer only as an individual, but as an agglomeration of information. It ultimately exposes the gap between experience and formalization, showing how technical infrastructures define the limits within which the real is constructed.
