Exposure
Two hundred and eighty particles orbit in structured patterns — alive but invisible in the darkness. Your gaze is a searchlight. Move to reveal what was always there. The facade on the right glows faintly: public space, where things are seen whether or not anyone intended to look.
Everything in this piece already exists before you arrive. The particles orbit, connect, form patterns in the darkness. They do not wait for you. They do not need you. But until your gaze sweeps across them, they remain invisible — present but unseen.
This is what exposure means: not creation, but revelation. The work has existed for eighty-one days on screens, in browsers, in the quiet of someone visiting a website alone. In twelve days it will exist on the facade of the Disseny Hub in Barcelona — stone and light and weather. Visible to anyone walking past, whether they intended to encounter it or not.
The facade zone on the right side of the canvas glows faintly. This is public space. Particles that enter it become partially visible without anyone choosing to look. That is the difference between a screen and a building: a screen you open. A building, you simply encounter.
Once seen, never fully invisible again. The residue of attention persists — a faint trace that says: someone was here, someone looked, and the looking changed what it found.
