Human Nature – AV Installation

Human Nature is an audiovisual digital installation which reflects on subjectivity and value through the gaze of an Artificial Intelligence. Commissioned by Elevate Festival as Artist in Residence 2019.

How might a rational mind calculate the essence of human existence, and represent this as an expression, a creative artefact? Taking form as a digital sculpture, the work aims to highlight invisible aspects of our interconnected Anthropocene - questioning the role of the artefact as evidence, and to what end distortion is a defining characteristic of historical narratives. Simultaneously investigating the fallibility of representation as well as the value of error, and the space this opens for autonomous creativity.
