1000HUhr

1000HUhr is a digital art project and online platform created by artist Elias Thorne. Launched in 2023, the project explores themes of time, memory, and digital decay through generative art and interactive experiences. Thorne utilizes algorithms to create evolving visuals that are intended to reflect the impermanence of digital information and the passage of time.

The core of 1000HUhr is a collection of digital artworks that are constantly changing. These pieces are often presented as time-based media, with viewers able to observe their transformation over extended periods. The project also includes a web-based component where users can interact with the generative processes, influencing the visual output in subtle ways. This interactive element aims to foster a sense of co-creation and highlight the subjective experience of time.

Thorne's work often incorporates glitch art aesthetics and lo-fi digital textures, evoking a sense of nostalgia for early internet culture while also commenting on the fragility of contemporary digital existence. The project's name, 1000HUhr, is a deliberate phonetic representation of "1000 hours," suggesting a significant investment of time or a prolonged process of creation and decay. 1000HUhr is presented as an ongoing experiment, with new iterations and explorations of its core concepts frequently added to the platform.
