The 2023 Silicon series continues my search for the physical embodiment of digital objects and the examination of virtual processes in terms of content. On the one hand, the title refers to the cradle of the digital age, Silicon Valley. On the other hand, it refers to the chemical properties of the material silicone, which are very similar to the core material of the works, XPS. Using a red-hot wire, the finest movements can be burned into the soft material and are held in place. The surface resulting from the cutting process is reminiscent of topographical maps with isohypses, so-called contour lines, as well as an electronic glitch, which is basically a graphic error. The amorphous forms are then highlighted by sealing them with epoxy resin, a synthetic liquid material. This step gives the work its characteristic colouring, filling in hollows and producing gradients depending on the pigment content. Finally, the body is installed in a custom-made metal frame. Strictly speaking, this is a support, because the work is only framed with metal on the sides. This is to avoid direct contact with the fragment and to emphasise the nature of the sensitive artificial object. The support concept is individually oriented to the work and simply follows the principle that each enclosure, like the work itself, must be unique.
