The Illuminations were designed to frame monitors displaying the artist's experimental 3D animations produced over the past 23 years. Among them are legacy animations produced between 2002 and 2019, including Digital Death. Hart emerged as part of a generation of '90s media artists questioning identity through the scrim of technology. Digital Death is about issues of the body, perception, nature collapsing into technology. Everything is fluid within this state, including gender. Hart considers this cyborgian melange as a liminal spaces that interfaces between the real and unreal in a state of contemplation and transformation.

Music by Peter Kusek and Mikey McParlane and Claudia Hart
