Technology these days have become so advanced with being able to search up almost anything on the internet and having access to it almost everywhere. And the thing that makes up these electronic devices is data, but did you know that you can physically see data, that’s what Jeroen Holthuis did and he called it Bitquid. Ok, you aren’t actually seeing the physical form of data more like a representation of it. The piece of work “is a complex system of about 800 meters of transparent hoses through which digital information will flow in the form of ‘analogue’ fluids.” This piece reminds me of those alien scenes where they have to “recharge” or something and be connected with some sort of device. The way that the fluid glows in the dark is cool, because it also creates a new perspective and design if you are looking at the art in the dark. Having all those hoses must be tiring to maintain.
