[We Don't Know Yet] What A Cinema Can Do featuring "In the LIght of Growth," an experiment where real liquids are manipulated to reveal transitions in branching patterns, evocative of the blurry boundaries between the physical and the living world.
Visuals by visual artists Yousif Alzayed and Baudouin Saintyves live scored by sound artist Veronica Anne Salinas.

Onion City Film Festival and the Center for Concrete and Abstract Machines (CCAM), in collaboration with Public Works Gallery co-present a live performance program adjacent to the festival exploring “expanded cinema” in an attempt to put cinematic art to the tasks of resistance, rupture, and reconfiguration of mediatic experience. We ask: how can experimental modes of animating sound and moving image reconfigure the possibility of our relating to one another anew?
“In The Light Of Growth” 2024-25, In Collaboration with Baudouin Saintyves, Séverine Attis, Savannah Gowen, and Sidney Nagel.
Presented at Ars Electronica between September 4-7, 2024. This piece was part of the show “Self Matter” curated by Baudouin Saintyves, featuring works from the Nagel Lab, Jager Lab, and Ax Lab at the University of Chicago.
This project was made possible, in part, by the support of the emergency artist grant by @foundationforcontemporaryarts , which I thank greatly for their support!
