Interactive video, webcam, sound, dimensions variable
Drawing on inspiration from the complex ecosystem that emerges from the Whale Fall, the work navigates the body as a porous and integrated ecological site. Through video, sound, surveillance technologies, and coded networks participants are invited to reframe their presence in an alternative environment. The work acts as a contemplation site for the following questions: What kind of assemblages do we engage in consciously/unconsciously and physically/ metaphysically? How does our body loop into the environment and what kind of micro choices have macro effects on ourselves and the world around us? What systems do we utilize to navigate differences? Do we need to create new systems of communication that facilitate a wider integration between human and non-human bodies?
