The Digital Glass Panel


Originally envisioned as the centerpiece of a contemporary museum, the digital glass panel takes form as a three-dimensional structure reaching ceiling height within the glass-covered, three-story building. Upon entering the space, visitors are required to input their phones into a narrow, transparent passageway. These devices are then transferred into the panel, stacked vertically alongside hundreds of others.
Even though the panel is located in the lobby, it serves as more than just a practical component; it is a work of art in and of itself. Its presence captures the attention of visitors, exhibiting the collective absence of digital devices and displaying the reason authentic human connection has diminished in modern society. As a result, the panel transforms a simple gesture of surrendering a phone into a powerful statement about technology, presence, and the value of genuine social interaction.
