ANTHROPAUSE | FINITE 

July, 2021

​

Infinite is a kinetic projection sculpture that reflects on the illusion of limitless human expansion and the finite conditions of the Earth. Created during the COVID-19 pandemic, the work emerged from an awareness that the balance between human and non-human life had been profoundly disrupted. Developed from 300 years of atmospheric CO₂ data, it asks how climate history can become a material and bodily experience.

A custom-built circular frame rotates slowly through the space, carrying a translucent surface that both receives and transmits projection. Moving images, sound, reflections, and shadows extend beyond the sculpture into the room, creating an environment in which data, architecture, light, and audience continually affect one another. As viewers move around the work, their perspective shifts with it.

The three-minute composition compresses 300 years of rising CO₂ concentration into a single temporal experience. It remains quiet and meditative until its final seconds, when light accelerates and fragments across the room, producing a sudden sense of instability. Infinite transforms climate data into rhythm, duration, movement, and atmosphere, revealing that what appears infinite is a reciprocal chain: every action enters a planetary system in which all entities remain connected and infinitely reshape one another.
