The work is drawn from internet culture and a daily routine of all humankind in internet era: CAPTCHA. It employs familiar visual prompts, moving away from the simplicity and drudgery of a standard CAPTCHA, transforming the mundane into an artistic inquiry.
CAPTCHA (Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart), is a computer program intended to distinguish human from computer.
Contrasting to the boring and effortless test of CAPTCHA, the work intends to propose problematic and often unsolvable questions. The work redefines the mundane CAPTCHA into an intricate probe of our times. It interrogates the conflict and symbiosis that exist between our digital and physical selves, between automation and autonomy, and the impacts of these dynamics on a rapidly globalizing society.
