Cutting Stone asks how physical actions translate into digital memory. The installation includes a granite block with a chisel that visitors can strike. A hidden microphone captures each impact, converting the sound into binary data that illuminates a growing 3D cube on a display screen. By connecting the raw process of stone carving with contemporary technology, this project explores how human gestures create collective, anonymous traces in our digital age.
