‘Searching For Answers On Jupiter’ is a meditation on existentialism and a metaphor for our never-ending search for answers and meaning in life, created at a time of personal uncertainty, national unrest, and a depressingly long list of global issues.

This 1/1 code-based artwork contains an entire generative algorithm, revealed as an endless series of aerial views of Jupiter. Every few seconds a new search begins and a new site on Jupiter is revealed. The probes do their work, the patterns are interrogated, and then they move on, never again to return. If multiple people view this artwork at the same time they’ll get synchronized and will follow the same meandering journey across the gas giant. The answers are all there, somewhere.
