By placing your fingertips on a touchscreen, you set off a chain reaction of electromagnetic currents in the device. Fascinated by this zone in which human actions and the digital world merge, conceptual artist Noor Nuyten visualises the waves that pass through the electrodes after a swipe. These patterns form the basis for Digital Dust, a series of 3D-printed reliefs made from material sourced from discarded and melted-down electronics. Feminist philosopher Donna Haraway’s imagination of a more liveable future inspired Nuyten to make recycling an essential part of her work. ‘Digital Dust and Other Stories’ is the first monograph and overview of Nuyten’s practice.
