This is the World (2023)

Video installation, video 3 min duration. 40 blow-up pillows with print.

Made for the Norweigan Drawing Triennial 2023 with Tenthaus Bitacora.

The work is centred around world-building as a way of imagining other futures and passing on information. I am exploring the gap between text and image, legacy and misunderstanding- maybe here interpreted by another intelligence?

Exposing the bare bones of a world built in the games engine Unreal, a tool I use in most of my projects, I play with the actual construction and artefacts. Exposed with errors and gaps.

An AI-driven voice with various intonations, genders and ages that all say the same sentence and the image and printed symbols are an interpretation of this.
