Collection
A series of audiovisual works modelling fragmented scenarios of life forms emerging
at the intersection of biological, technological, and informational processes. Each video constructs an autonomous environment: pulsating visual landscapes and synthetic sonic structures form spaces in which the boundaries between the organic and the computational become blurred.
The visual material is built from images generated using the Disco Diffusion model in Google Colab, processed in Adobe Photoshop, and assembled in Adobe Premiere Pro. Each work
in the series has a unique sound layer created in collaboration with a composer: sound
and image exist as equal constituents of a unified environment.
Conceptually, the series draws on the tradition of Russian Cosmism and its idea of expanding life beyond biological and planetary scale. The future is approached as an executable process,
one that can be launched, varied, and reassembled. Life manifests through continuous transformation, in which the biological and the computational exist in a mode of mutual production rather than hierarchical subordination.
Generative algorithms function as instruments of speculative modelling: matter, energy,
and information participate in the production of the image as equal agents of transformation. The future emerges as an environment in which life forms are computed, executed, and varied beyond an anthropocentric perspective, operating according to a logic autonomous with respect to the observer.
The series was first presented at the group exhibition "TRANSMISSION DIGITAL UTOPIAS"
at the De Digitale festival, Dusseldorf, Germany, September 2022.
