Radiant Node

Radiant Node( https://youtu.be/DzHPGJjNON0) transforms the act of entering personal data into a ritualized interaction. Through religious metaphors and a triptych-inspired structure, viewers perform an “encoded prayer” by voluntarily inputting birthdate data into a keypad system. Each input triggers algorithmically generated images, videos, and thermal receipts, turning identity-defining information into visible digital traces. The screen functions simultaneously as a digital altar, surveillance interface, and data collection platform. As receipts accumulate, a collective “digital deity” emerges, reflecting how privacy is exchanged for access, efficiency, and belonging within contemporary digital systems.
