‘We often perceive objects as having a fixed, unchanging appearance. However, everything in our universe is in a constant state of flux. The sky, for example, is frequently imagined as a static blue expanse with white clouds. Yet, in reality, it is a highly dynamic entity, constantly changing its shapes due to the interplay of clouds and light. These changes occur rapidly, often unnoticed, but become evident when attempting to draw the sky.
To make people notice this phenomenon, I began drawing its shapes one by one with a white pencil on black paper. After making several drawings and placing them side by side, the dynamic nature of the sky became visible. I discovered the sky as a series of snapshots, so different from the single fixed picture I had in my mind. Together, these pictures showed the constant visual vibrations of our Universe through time.
This observation led me to ponder a virtual hypothesis of our world. By cutting the edges of the paper in a large pixel-like way, I suggested that our reality might be composed of discrete units, similar to pixels in a digital image. Just as a highly detailed video game our world might be constantly updated to create the illusion of a continuous reality.‘—Ilya Yod.
