in this piece, I used a max patch to track the movements of moths flying around a light source. The piece is inspired by Sufi folklore and the tale of the moth and the flame - the parable tells the story of how one moth experienced enlightenment by flying into the candle flame and being consumed in the flame, thereby literally attaining oneness with the flame.
The piece aims to track their meta/transcendental experience, and at the same time, I'm putting on the table the idea of using technology to voyeur into ritualistic, mystical practices as a way to extract their core, distilled essences.
