#in-cyber-out invites viewers to embark on an introspective journey, exploring the choices that have shaped their lives and contemplating the path ahead. Just as in the game of poker, where strategy and intuition intertwine, this art installation encourages us to strike a balance in our digital interactions, allowing us to enjoy the benefits of the Internet while preserving our connection to the essence of being human.

My artistic exploration delves into the profound impact of the Internet on the human experience, particularly for my generation, which has grown up almost entirely immersed in this digital revolution. Life before the Internet evokes nostalgic memories of simpler times, perceived as less busy, less stressful, and undeniably more enjoyable. However, we acknowledge that alongside these advantages, there were unique challenges that we faced.

As a result, my peers and I are presented with an abundance of choices in our lives today.

The visual narrative transcends traditional boundaries, symbolizing the limitless possibilities that the digital realm offers.

As observers interact with the art, they are invited to explore their attitudes towards the Internet, technology, and its influence on their lives. The ultimate goal is to foster a balanced and unpolarized perspective, where individuals can embrace the advantages of the digital age while cherishing r
