According to the Silicon Valley, the future only seems to be in High Definition. The 5g will soon allow us to watch 8K movies in the metro, and Elon Musk’s Starlink is about to kill the “poor” image by delivering
high-speed internet covering the entire globe.

It is in this context that a strange meteorite crashes to Earth, mysteriously lowering the resolution of the images and objects surrounding it.

Crash.jpeg is an exploration of the sprawling ramifications of the “poor” image, i.e. of low resolution, in societies that assimilate progress and visual sharpness. By contemplating the weight of these images that have become physical, a window opens up for a critical look at the way our contemporary tools align our perceptions with dominant ideological paradigms. It questions the expectations and fantasies that our western cultural mythologies carry about technology and progress. What could we understand more by rendering less?
