This work is designed to help viewers become more aware of the way technology is unnecessary creeping into our lives by demonstrating a technological replacement of one of the simplest and most universal moments in life, watching a leaf fall off a tree.
The work is made of a tree branch with three receipt printers located inside of it. The printers being slowly printing images of leaves onto receipt paper which fall to the ground and pile on top of the laptop running the code for the project. As the exhibit continues, the paper the leaves are printed on darkens, and the speed at which leaves print and fall becomes faster and more erratic. The final stages of the project represent the decay that is surely coming if we let tech take over even the simplest moments of our lives.
