Student project

GULE

The "GULE" project comments on the impact of electronic devices that, like invasive plants, take root in our daily lives. They collect data, explore the environment and communicate digitally, ignoring our privacy and sharing intimate details. The physical proximity of these devices results in a precise fit, like a mask glued to the face. The algorithm disregards the eyes, nose, and mouth, growing to limit the senses, blind vision, and deprive the sense of smell. Inspired by the locust tree, the project illustrates how technologies invade our comfort zone and slowly consume us.
