Hyperobjets is a digital art installation that explores the ephemerality of geological structures that often seem eternal to us. Using conventional 3D animation techniques along with generative processes, the installation invites viewers to contemplate the temporary nature of something seemingly solid and immutable – the Earth – but that is actually, in cosmic terms, in constant evolution. The work presents this long, inexorable transformation, humbling the viewer before forces that are largely beyond human comprehension. The installation, whose name echoes the book Hyperobjects, by philosopher Timothy Morton, humbles us with its depiction of forces beyond the grasp of human experience.
