About the work
Algorithms (Invisible Systems of Control) depicts a space ruled by unseen logic. A red X denies, a green arrow permits, but no one knows exactly why. The escalators symbolize a system that remains intact and obedient to no one. Beneath the sterile light, blades of grass reclaim the floor, a fragile gesture of defiance, like history breaking through the surface of code.
This work reveals the domination of algorithmic order, showing how control hides behind neutrality and how the most powerful systems are often the ones we are prevented from seeing.
