We Are All Under the Same Sky, 2018. Emergency blankets, helium, human presence sensor, digital environmental sounds, dimensions variable.
We Are All Under the Same Sky is an immersive sound installation made from emergency blankets shaped into clouds and inflated with helium and air. Sensors detect visitors and trigger sound fragments related to the collection, storage, and circulation of data online.
The work connects physical presence with the often invisible processes through which human activity becomes data. The clouds suggest a shared, borderless space, while the emergency blankets evoke protection, displacement, and survival. Through this interaction, the installation considers how everyday activities leave digital traces that can be extracted and monetized, and how the information collected about us shapes what we encounter in return.
