Cross-digital techniques & AR

ETERNITY is a unique artwork created through cross-digital techniques and augmented reality, exploring the elusive interplay between time, movement, and perception. Inspired by William Blake’s poetic line — “Eternity is in love with the productions of time” — the piece meditates on the paradox of permanence within transience, and the beauty that emerges from temporal flux. The abstract composition, with its fluid distortions and layered monochromatic textures, evokes a sense of suspended motion. It is neither static nor fully kinetic, but exists in a liminal state, like a ripple caught between becoming and vanishing. This visual ambiguity reflects the philosophical tension between chronos (measured time) and kairos (felt time), inviting viewers to experience duration not as a linear sequence, but as a multidimensional presence. Conceptually, ETERNITY explores the ontology of the digital image, examining how virtual forms can embody real sensations and how technology can simulate the metaphysical. The use of augmented reality expands the work beyond the screen, allowing it to inhabit physical space and challenge the boundaries between the visible and the invisible. It is a study in digital phenomenology, where the artwork becomes an interface between the viewer’s perception and the temporal fabric of reality. The piece also draws from early studies of movement and time, echoing the legacy of the Futurists, while reinterpreting their inquiries through a contemporary, post-digital lens. In this context, ETERNITY becomes a meditation on the potential of the real, not as a fixed truth, but as a dynamic field of possibilities shaped by memory, sensation, and technological mediation.
