Defragmentation

Saebyul Hwangbo | South Korea | 2014 | 15 min

This work intends to depict a contradictory psychology known as ambivalence by metaphorically comparing a digital process called defragmentation to a human thinking process. A computer process resembles the human brain system. Paradoxically, however, man’s emphasis on efficiency creates an illusion that people are digitalized by the thinking style of the computer.
