Excavation 2.0, considers concrete as a material through a lens from the future. Questions around the impact of the concrete industry begin to surface as the work considers the material’s longevity. Does such a material become a relic of the past if we cannot sustain its existence with our environment? The installation is a second iteration piece, which includes a sound scape referencing back to the time when metal objects scratched and scraped into its surface. If the work had a voice, what would it say about the past? The repetitive looping motion becomes an ongoing machine system. The work begins to mirror the performative repetition of time and of history, of human behaviour, and of structures in technology; it continues, it grows, it grinds down and it churns away.
