When we were approached by the biennial for a commissioned work last year, the landscape of navigational tools on the internet were rapidly changing with the arrival of AI. We grew up with internet tools that often borrowed from maritime motifs. This inspired us to draw closer to Asia’s history of navigational technology, and human’s innate need to move between the known and unknown. We took the opportunity to personally visit many lighthouses and their keepers to learn first hand on close relationship between human and machine.
