_This project takes the form of a gelified water sculpture, with variable dimensions, situating the digital within a broader hydric metabolism. The piece begins from the idea that processes such as cloud computing or the training of artificial intelligence are not immaterial, but depend on cycles of extraction, manufacturing, and cooling that are deeply tied to water. Suspended between solid and condensed, the sculpture suggests an organism in transformation. Over time, the water evaporates and returns to the hydric cycle, leaving behind a residual membrane. Through this mutation, the work proposes thinking of technology not as a sphere separate from the material world, but as part of a continuous circulation that connects bodies, infrastructures, and planetary resources._
