From the Mouth of Chrysippus | Video | Length: 14:58 | 2017 | Futures | Royal Hibernian Academy Dublin.

I exhibited these artworks recently along with my first animation. This is some background on the works:
The birth of modern logic occurred in ancient Greece with the beginning of the Greek dialectic tradition. This is a form of reasoning used to solve disagreements through rational discussion which utilized certain rules. These rules were, in a sense, a series of instructions which sought out the truth and were based on advocating propositions and counter-propositions. While learning a computer language called ‘C++’, I found that the foundation of this language was very similar to the arguments found in ancient Greece. The foundation of most programming languages are made up of statements which read like an abstract techno philosopher.
I was aware of the cultural importance that Greek philosophy has in the west and was amazed to see their oral tradition reverberating all the way into our computers.
I am interested in the transient nature of information and the many forms it can take. Like a chameleon, logic constantly transforms from one state into another. This project explores and mimics that idea of transformation. The link between the historical and digital is made through the use of real sculptures rendered within a virtual environment.
