In response to an age of swipes and scrolls, when all you see is productivity and every media becomes faster, this project invites you to pause and connect deeply. The installation, composed of candles on a wooden table, replicates what the audience will find on a website accessed by tapping a smartphone into a plate. Inspired by the concept of slow surfing, Candlelarium transforms the internet into a space for ritual and reflection. In it, you interact with a digital oracle who will advise you in one domain of your life based on candles you blow out through your device's microphone. Designed to bring moments of magic into daily life, interacting with the project connects you to those who came before, weaving a shared tapestry of wisdom.
