A broken black marble slab, laser engraved with white screenshots of the first widely circulated celebrity sex tape alongside distorted simulations of solar storms, rests on a server rack like the broken tabletop of a historical stone table. The work marks a historical threshold in the emergence of the internet age, when unprecedented image circulation exposed both the possibilities and the vulnerabilities of digital infrastructures.

Removed from their online circulation and engraved into stone, the screenshots become material traces of a technological shift. blazing network (tape) marks the beginning of a trilogy examining how intimate images, media infrastructures, and economies of visibility have become increasingly inseparable.
