Simulacra & Simulacrum - Necklace

"Simulacra & Simulacrum - Necklace" is a wearable iteration of "Simulacra & Simulacrum" made using bent clear acrylic sheet that is etched with Binary code that depicts A.I. generated organic growth patterns. It investigates abstract subjects such as "What is Reality?", "What is an Original?" and "Is Free Will an Illusion?" which fall under the umbrella of Simulation Hypothesis: the idea that reality is a simulation. The use of artificial materials and computer generated imagery contrasts with the organic sawdust embedded into etched growth patterns imply that reality as experienced has artificial roots. Silver is used as a chain that holds the necklace in place as it is also a common material in electronics.
