In der Werkserie "I woke up to find myself scattered across continents" (2023) schöpft Troika aus ihrer Sammlung digitalisierter Skulpturen und musealer Objekte aus verschiedenen Online-Bibliotheken. An Porzellan erinnernd, scheinen die Werke zunächst aus einem Guss, während bei genauerem Hinsehen die Schichtung des 3D-Drucks erkennbar wird. Die digitalen Zwillinge antiker, klassischer und zeitgenössischer Objekte werden in einer Kette von 3D-Programmen manipuliert, indem sie digital in Cluster gleicher Dicke zerschnitten werden. Diese Cluster werden dann wiederum in die physische Welt zurückgebracht, wo sie miteinander vermischt und neu angeordnet werden, um neue Konfigurationen der ursprünglichen Objekte zu schaffen. Das Ergebnis kollidiert mit traditionellen Darstellungen und Klassifizierungen verschiedener Epochen, kultureller Artefakte, Glaubenssysteme und historischer Geografien. Verstärkt wird dies durch die Produktionsmethode, bei der verteilte Produktionsstätten - über den ganzen Globus verteilte 3D-Drucker - eingesetzt werden, um digitale Informationsfragmente aus verschiedenen Kontexten neu zu kombinieren.
In the series "I woke up to find myself scattered across continents" (2023) Troika draw from their collection of digitised sculptures and musea objects gathered from various online libraries. Reminiscent of porcelain, the works initially appear to be cast from one mold, while closer inspection reveals the layering of 3D printing. The digital twins of ancient, classical and contemporary objects are manipulated in a chain of 3D programs by digitally slicing them into clusters of equal thickness. These clusters are then brought back into the physical world as 3D prints, that are intermixed and reordered to create new configurations of the original objects. The outcome collides traditional depictions and classifications of different epochs, cultural artefacts, belief systems and historical geographies, reinforced by their method of production which uses distributed manufacturing - 3D printing production facilities that are scattered across the globe - to recombine digital fragments of information, drawn across multiple periods, places, collections and contexts.
