ceramic processors

Originating from obsolete ceramic processors that have been mechanically opened, fractured, and partially stripped of their protective casing, the work examines the semiconductor not as a functioning computational object, but as a layered material body. While the reverse side of the processors contains visible gold contact points, fragments of exposed silicon reveal the computational core of the device. The exposed core appears simultaneously as technological component, geological specimen, and fractured image surface.

Rather than being restored, the processors are treated as sites of excavation. Their surfaces retain traces of manufacturing, fracture, and erosion, allowing information to persist only as material residue and partial legibility.
