Detumescence
Detumescence is a vanitas scene that includes Soft Computing sculptures, fruit, flowers, outmoded technologies, wires, a GIF, and other detritus–all of which decay at different scales of time. The piece was made as a memorial to the lives lost due to COVID-19 and, in its initial exhibition, was livestreamed on YouTube as weekly vigils during a time when people could not responsibly gather and grieve communally.
