‘Happy Birthday to You’ is an artistic research project inspired by the similarities between how nature change over time and how analog electronic signals work. A digital signal consists of only 0 and 1. Analog signals, on the other hand, operate on a continuum of numbers between 0 and 1. Whereas a digital signal is a binary outcome, an analog signal is a process of constant change. The nature that surrounds us changes just like an analog signal. The sun doesn't rise and set like a switch (on-off/ 1-0). The sun is constantly rotating, and its light gradually gets brighter and dimmer. The same goes for the way a day goes, the seasons change, and even the way all beings are born and die include human. Life is a continuous process of change. It doesn't change digitally, it changes analogically. 'Happy Birthday to You’ represents poetically the constant physical change of nature actor as analog signals in real time. It proposes a new dialogue about the circularity and continuity of time and the relationship between nature and technology in the context of the current environmental crisis. | |||
