Digital Strata is a series of works on the human computer interaction patterns we have already lost, or are quickly losing, in our own time.

The viewer sees the past as a pixelated, low resolution surface. A portal follows the cursor and reveals the present underneath. Loading bars become skeleton screens. Keyboards become voices. Passwords become bodies.

These shifts are usually told as a story of progress. This work asks what we no longer notice once a way of interacting becomes obsolete. The rituals. The rhythms. The small acts of patience and attention that shaped how a generation related to its machines.

Each piece is dated to the decade in which the pattern first became common. Looking through the portal is an act of looking at ourselves now, knowing that what we see as current is already on its way to becoming a memory.
