In the vision of the future held by artist Evan Holm, ‘there will be a time when all tracings of human culture will dissolve back into the soil under the slow crush of the unfolding universe’. In essence, he believes all traces of human culture and creation will slowly be worn away and covered by dust of the future.
In order to express this slow, inexorable decline and burial, Holm created a technological masterpiece, a record player submerged beneath the surface of a still pool that produces near-flawless playback. Laid in the center of an installation combining natural and man-made elements, Holm has given form to his darker thoughts, as the video below demonstrates.
What Sparks Our Fire: Artistic and technological creativity used to express the submersion of all human creation beneath the waves of time.
