The Museum of Natural Conscience is a digital gallery that exhibits curated objects as philosophical artifacts of humankind. This first installation, premiering November 2024, hosts lost and found objects, the spaces around them, and the sentimental value they hold. MoNC seeks to find substance in ambiguity through the examination of antiquities and relics.
Objects can function as a tool to increase our productivity and chances of survival. They can also be decorative, just a way to differentiate our experiences from others. Creatives hold such a sensitive role in society in which they tune in with the world, witness it, and are obligated to find a way to represent it somehow.
Each object is restrained by a "binding box" (as it is the nature of png images). Using this binding box as our primary design language, it is a reminder to both look at an object within the context of its surroundings
and perhaps how we exist in context of objects.
Through the past month of October 2024, collaborators Peggy Luk and Rayna Hugo have procured a collection of objects for the Fellows For Two fellowship. The Museum of Natural Conscience consists of stories and thought exercises, a journalistic investigation about how objects represent a collective experience, yet are subjected to our own projections.
