UK - London - Somerset House - Tekja - Awake 02_DSC1624
This is a photo of the mesmerising 'Awake' by Tekja, part of the 24/7 Exhibition at Somerset House.
From the Evening Standard review of 24/7 : "Rest is a form of resistance, a biological reminder of human agency. The collective Tekja’s installation Awake (2019) is emblematic: blizzards of live social media messages relating to sleep and sleeplessness projected onto screens, punctuated with prolonged pauses of meditative digital mandalas."
From the Somerset House website : "Tekja are an award-winning data visualisation studio formed in 2012 by Amanda Taylor and Jacopo Hirschstein. Striving to innovate and experiment, they use real-time visualisation, digital animation and interaction design to create interfaces that reveal hidden patterns and stories in complex information. The studio analyses and visualises all kinds of data to unveil the beauty and meaning behind the digital interactions and pulses of the world we live in, from real-time social media and geographic data, to information streaming from GPS sensors in cars and pulsing from biometric wristbands on live audiences."
