There are two forces at work in the son:DA’s creations – one is a direct and sharp commentary on the damning effect that high-tech society has on the individual, whereas the other finds pleasure in the formal use of technology as a game. The first employs a traditional means (although by using the computer) of generating images, easily appropriated and commodified by the system of art. The second involves the concept of an open work, incompleteness, communication, and is therefore much more indefinable. This creates a schizophrenic oscillation between image and space, between object and process, between the static and the dynamic, between the final and the incomplete. In their system of representation, son:DA successfully balance between two opposites, with an obvious tendency towards an open structure, connections and interaction. But within a guarded atmosphere of ironic technological dystopia, which – in their case – acts as the final shield from the total and excessive connectedness of the modern world.
