17153MS FOSSILES is a glass sculpture, the result of a collaboration with glassmaker Élise Dufour and designer Quentin Didierjean. Its upper face presents an at first glance elusive pattern, which in reality reflects the evolution of a digital micro-society generated by software then reproduced in the glass, and whose life time is spread over precisely 17,153 milliseconds.
The vitrification of this ersatz of an ephemeral digital life offers the poetic image of a fleeting existence that is both simple and complex, reflecting the fragile nature of life, whatever the environment in which it unfolds.
