DIGITAL REMAINS is a series of conceptual artworks shaped by the ongoing evolution of digital technologies. It interrogates the ontology of the image and the object in the age of dematerialization. Emerging from the digital transformations are traces, residues, and fragments: digital readymades harvested from the everyday virtual environment. In the spirit of Duchamp’s readymades, these works recontextualize digital artifacts like screenshots, metadata, glitches, and obsolete interfaces by appropriating them as conceptual gestures rather than aesthetic compositions. They are not “created” so much as they are chosen, selected for their symbolic relevance and reconstructed to ask: what remains of art when the medium is no longer material? The series considers digital evolution not as progress, but as entropy. These remains are not relics of technological perfection; they are corrupted, eroded, compressed like silent witnesses to the impermanence of data. Within each piece is a friction between past and future: the nostalgia for analog tactility and the abstraction of synthetic reality.

Ultimately, DIGITAL REMAINS proposes a critical space — a conceptual archaeology of the virtual world — where the act of seeing shifts from observation to recognition. It challenges viewers to confront the detritus of their digital lives, reframing them as artifacts of cultural transition and asking how meaning survives when a machine mediates memory. In this way, the DIGITAL REMAINS series serves as an archaeology of perception and memory in the digital era. It transforms technological symbolism into conceptual gold, asking not just what we leave behind, but what we choose to remember. It is a poetic confrontation with the entropy of data, offering viewers a mirror not of who they are, but of what they've forgotten.
