Immigration is a multidisciplinary art project that strips away the noise of modern discourse to reveal a fundamental truth: racism is not an innate human instinct, but a failure to perceive the grand scale of time. It is a visual realization of how distant prejudice is from the reality of our biological and social survival.
The project manifests as an animated field of light—a representation of a nation. Within this field, every individual is reduced to a single dot of color. By stripping away names, faces, and languages and religions we are left with the only thing that truly shifts over centuries: the chromatic signature of our shared DNA.
In this simulation, the chaotic flicker of a single human life is accelerated. You are watching a country breathe. The development of the animation is not just a digital loop; it is years of history unfolding in every second.
As these "dots" move, they do not merely bounce off one another. They interact, influence, and merge. When they meet, they create space for new life, expressed visually as a delicate chromatic shift—the moment where two drops of paint meet to form a new shade. This is the "rhythm" of the species. Even at high speeds, the essential needs of the simulation remain constant, proving that while our "colors" change, the heartbeat of the collective remains steady.
The simulation allows us to witness the long-term consequences of social behavior:
Integration: Ethnic groups fluidly mix with the local population, creating a subtle, organic morphing of the country’s visual identity—a "new reality" born from diversity.
Isolation: Groups that remain isolated stay fixed in their initial position. This stillness reveals a stark choice: either a temporary preservation of a legacy or a slow fade into disappearance, as a stagnant DNA pool lacks the strength to prosper across centuries.
Through Immigration, you are invited to witness the slow-motion alchemy of a nation. It reveals that the society you were born into is not a static monument, but the result of millions of color-merges that occurred long before you arrived.
