That which cannot be held in singularity is an immersive installation that evokes the digital sublime, finding the moment between awe, terror, and wonder in the face of a greatness beyond measurement or comprehension. This work invites an exploration of the affective qualities produced as we try to perceive and relate to digital technology as a complex, vast, and powerful omniscient entity. Technology has become something simultaneously built by us and beyond us that eludes our ability to fully grasp its workings. 

Video projections fill the space, allowing you to move through and around planes of light, data, and images as if submerged in a digital landscape. Viewers find themselves becoming part of the work as they are surrounded by visual processing languages, both seeing what the machine sees and themselves being seen by it.
