Silverfish

Silverfish examines the biomechanical development and enforcement of uniformity upon humans in the 21st century. We now find it unusual to operate without the assistance of our digital extensions and are constantly “wired in” and connected to the internet. This connectivity creates a spider web of relationships between everyone in the world. As a byproduct, uniformity and the death of ego runs rampant, sinking our individuality deeper and deeper. However, this also indicates that we live on forever, bits and pieces of us sustaining and living on as growths on those we have influenced as well as people that we may have never even seen. And as we begin to birth digital twins, we once again seek to leave our mark upon them—ultimately creating a biomechanical being that is the representation of both the individual and the group that will last long past humanity’s demise: just like the silverfish.
