Forest

Forest – an augmented wander through dense, 1000-year-old forests, where the symbiotic intelligence of fungi, birds, and the entangled visual, sonic, and sensuous relationships between the geosphere, atmosphere, and electronic Noosphere come to life. Forest explores the symbiotic relationship between multispecies co-evolution within situated ecologies.

Machinic Dreamings Of Limehouse Foreshore (Installation)

Machinic Dreamings focus on the Limehouse Foreshore just below the towers of Canary Wharf. They bring together multiple conflicting systems: the tides of the Thames, machine learning algorithms used for high-speed trading, the growth patterns of green algae and electrical signals produced by the brain while daydreaming.

Machinic Dreamings are the research output of John Wild's year-long Art + Tech Residency at SPACE

Machinic Dreamings Of Limehouse Foreshore (Film)

The Machine Dreams the Future into Being is an experimental short film animated using machine learning, trained on an original dataset. The visuals are layered with a speculative narrative exploring how machine-learning algorithms are instrumental in mining—and ultimately reshaping—the future through automated high-frequency trading. The film concludes by calling for resistance to reclaim the future before workers become the abandoned residue of Capital-human meat, surplus to requirements as sea levels rise.

Selected for CRASSH’s ‘Breaking the Frame’ film festival 2022.
