2007
Hopelessly Unconscious premiered at the Korean Cultural Center Theatre for Tarfest 2007, were, Trenda, created an immersive digital environment. This installation featured a circular screen displaying a time-lapse image of an ocean, with a corresponding change in sound from organic to inorganic tones. As the artist touched the circular screen, the image responded and synchronized with a larger screen to the left. Additionally, an LCD screen was placed upon the eyes of the artist that displayed an image of her lips opening and closing, thus commenting on the consumption of our environment.
Humans have a tendency to consume without considering the consequences, leading to devastating impacts on the environment. We may be unconscious of the effects of our actions and the need for change, even though we are conscious of what we see. This unsustainable behavior threatens the ability of future generations to sustain themselves on this planet.
