Code of conflict explores the intricate relationship between power, technology and warfare. Set against a sterile, cold, chromy aesthetic with a dystopian touch, the work juxtaposes calculated, digital code with the visceral human impact of war, reflecting on the power dynamics between those who command the technology and those caught in its destructive force. Through the depiction of a naked body, the animation underscores human vulnerability amidst technological warfare. Additionally, it critiques the sovereignty of interpretation held by a small group of influential figures—tech moguls and financiers—whose disproportionate influence over political and technological decisions has far-reaching consequences.
