The Screen
The Screen
Embedded Files
The Screen is a digital animation that reflects on how digital representations can alter our sense of what feels “real.” Set in a hand-drawn pixel landscape, a vertical screen appears among a group of trees, showing an abstract tree made of shifting square units. It becomes both part of the environment and something that disrupts it — a digital object that demands more attention than the scene surrounding it.
The piece considers how screens mediate our experience of the world and how easily symbols can replace the things they stand in for. Ideas from thinkers like Baudrillard, Eco, and Deleuze inform its approach, not as theory but as a way of acknowledging how digital images have become their own reality.

The Tree
The Tree is the standalone version of the animation shown inside The Screen. Its shifting square patterns form a simplified, always-changing representation of a tree. By isolating the digital symbol from its surrounding landscape, the piece focuses on how easily a representation becomes its own object — the artwork inside another artwork, and a comment on how layers of mediation shape what we see.
The piece was created for display at the City of Arts and Sciences in Valencia, Spain, as part of NFT Show Europe 2023.
