“A New Flood is finally out in the world. It’s a 72-meter panorama print that blends satellite imagery, 3D scans, and generative forms to explore environmental collapse and what might come after. It’s part of an exhibition on materialism at @technischesmuseumwien The whole messy cycle of production, consumption, and waste is unrolled throughout the atrium and at the end it isn’t even a cycle. More like a spiral maybe… I’ve been working on this with @joshua.alena for the past year and am also endlessly grateful to @bleed.studio for getting me involved.

Bringing Death Back Into Life Exhibition at @macaartcenter in Beijing Photos by Chen Shihuan The Earth Will Spin Yet We Won’t Be Here       3-channel audiovisual installation HD Video, 55”, 3-channel, 2:30 min. In the winter of 2019 the annual burnings in the Amazon rainforest made a major appearance in western media. The new Brazilian government encouraged companies to use land grabbing on any unused piece of forest that is not protected by indigenous or environmental rights. Rubber or soy farmers would burn down pieces of forest in order to later regrow it as profitable monocultures. By giving out a free pass to the industry the burnings had an unseen peak early in the season with many fires escalating and becoming uncontrollable. The smoke and ash of the destruction was so enormous that it caused black rain to fall in Sao Paolo and other places. The work which was funded by the Austrian Federal Chancellery is based on 3D scans of plants, roots, trees and flowers taken in the Amazon in 2019. They are frozen images of small objects in a vast space captured in a short moment of eternity. As we leave all sane definitions of space and time we can see the agency which is inherent in all objects. Carbon based lifeforms transcend into fossil fuel or burn away releasing their carbon into the atmosphere. The mushroom is a mushroom and at the same time it is global warming and black rain in Sao Paolo. We can enjoy the breathtaking beauty of nature on one end of the Amazon while the other end is burning. Big ecological catastrophes like the annual burnings have a non-local quality to them which makes it easy for us to ignore and forget. If we look at this screen we do not really see plants but in fact we see the darkness that lies within all life.
