WHAT HATH GOD WROUGHT?
2021
On the morning of May 24th, 1844, Samuel Morse transmitted – from Washington to Baltimore – his first coded message: What Hath God Wrought?.
Through this ante litteram form of digital communication, in a context that sees humans as protagonist of technological progress, the question which Morse wrote takes an ontological value, going beyond the pragmatic need of communication to question the Invisible and the origin of things. Through a primordial dimension of the landscape, the staged and transmitted code becomes today’s allegory of an interrupted communication, where the human being no longer poses questions for the purpose of a biblical infatuation, but rather to his own human condition, between the "I" and the “World”, from this dimension to the hidden one.
