Initially conceived for the Digital Pocket Gallery, The Irrepairable Damage of Self-Realisation Communicated to Another is a conceptual net.art work of small proportions.
The work shows a timer counting up. A visualisation of time shown coldly, factually. The ageing process / passage of time is that of my first computer and initial exploration into new media while simultaneously reminding the user observing the work of the passage of time for them.
The work is both identity in virtual space by assuming the role of the artist and functions as a commemoration, a monument to their arrival in this new land. It marks the passage from the real to the virtual and their shared inescapable reality of time as something undeniable. It is the realisation of time and ones own age, counting up and past the year 2000 when many counters were counting down.
