A picture-in-picture video projection on three monitors, laser-engraved with calibration systems and laboratory equipment, reveals intriguing glimpses into the technological interiors of “Opaque (echoes of the frontier) I & II”. Harnessing hyperspectral imaging technologies, these video displays unveil a motion recording of the production process behind the data relics designed for smart devices. The showcased 3D printing process highlights the use of stainless steel powder as a novel material. Data is stored within these printed metal objects, accessible exclusively through infrared and hyperspectral imaging systems displayed on the monitors. Encapsulated within are drawings and assemblies of retina chips, engineered not only to restore vision to blind people but also to implant infrared radiation capability into ocular functions of the human eye. Another monitor provides a voyeuristic view of the laboratory setup captured through the lens of a slow-motion camera, underscoring the cold aesthetics of this mechanized environment. A collage assembles deformed scientific drawings derived from wireframes, hinting at the functional elements of the technical systems used.
