A huge amount of our exchanges are made trough such technologies proving that human and machine symbiosis is already established an it slowly became part of our everyday life in the name of progress. In a paradoxical way the user remains incapable of comprehending his own possession, witch is similar to a host and parasite relationship.

The photographs are voluntarily number-named evoking a digitalized process. The only trance of humanity is to be noticed within the usage marks of everyday life re-integrating the human aspect.
