Two mandalas created by using electronic circuits on motherboards.
I wanted to trigger an osmotic process between the Buddhist practice of creating mandalas for decoration and introspection, and the ingenious engineering behind the printed circuits of Information Technology. This project brings together the true circuitry of our everyday existence: TV parts, cell phone circuit boards, video game components, etc. I wanted to portray the structural essence of its. Tibetan mandalas tell stories, and mine is the story of technology viewed from the inside, from the vantage point of glorified chips and semiconductors. Contemplating mandalas activates areas of the brain that make our minds labour and strive toward a sense of unity, so that it can recompose fragmented experiences and images. Mandalas trigger circuits of brain activity, which provides the energy to recall memories that can influence our state of mind.
