The Moment furthers The Fallen Sky Chronicles short story narrative, which imagines a disruption of real-world time and space. Confronting a moment of transcendence in human consciousness, The Moment exposes a world where “the delicate stitches holding their realities together, and those of other dimensions, had begun to intertwine and unravel.” (Excerpt from The Fallen Sky Chronicles).

As described in the Fallen Sky Chronicles, the installation dissolves the boundaries of physical reality and an alternative, virtual world. 

Presupposing the inversion of the “singularity”, a term used to define the hypothetical event when artificial intelligence surpasses that of humans, The Moment imagines our brains being fused with technology, revealing an augmented consciousness imbued with images and data. 

In this way, The Moment creates a space to both revere and meditate on our increasingly technologically entwined lives.
