This video is part of the d/wb project.
The d/wb (desert/wet box) project, developed over a year across Madrid, London, and SF, CA, constitutes a sustained inquiry into the entangled domains of artificial intelligence, cybernetics, semiotics, and technological mediation. Composed of three interrelated works — the wet box, third extension, and fieldware — ,it functions as an experimental probe into the processes by which signs are produced, abstracted, and ultimately activated as vectors of value. Abstraction here is not treated as a secondary gesture of simplification, but as an active operative force that sustains both technocultural imaginaries and contemporary economies. Through this framework, d/wb positions itself within debates on Web3, tokenization, and the infrastructural dynamics of semiotic capitalism.
third extension emerges as an aesthetic exercise in abstraction and the artificialization of the face through recursive dynamics of encoding and recoding the sign. The work stages, through a composite of images and text boxes, a multidimensional relational environment where processes of resignification and the production of faciality unfold. Environments are presented not as pre-given but as accumulative constructions, sites where oppositional dynamics are constantly being reconfigured.
Abstraction arises at the intersection of these oppositions, functioning simultaneously as sign production and knowledge production, and acting as a mediating third that opens new relational pathways. Within the frameworks of AI and cybernetics, the piece enacts language as an operative technology across multiple environments, activating its dual capacity for artificialization and abstraction in the production of objectivity. In this light, medium and technology are configured as a recursive axis of vanishing that destabilizes and recodes the potential limits of each opposition. Language itself operates here as an abstract machine: producing signs, recoding value, and reconfiguring both moral and representational orders.
