Project Info

During my residency stay in November 2023 I will be developing my short 3D animated film created by using 3D animation, postproduced photogrammetric scans of sea sediments and AI generated imagery. I work with elements of speculative fiction and New Weird genre, which I merge with theories of posthumanism and queer ecology. The project is a proposal for a new origin mythology embodying new sensitivity and relationality towards the planet, more-than-human beings, and ourselves. The project explores the intersections of planetary memory with cellular memory and a “memory” constructed by artificial intelligence. Computer generated imagery is used here as another kind of planetary memory, based on visual data present in virtual ecosystems.

In this way I am trying to question the existence of interspecies memory – could our memories and knowledge be placed outside the physical boundaries of our bodies? Could we share planetary memories? Where does one body begin or end? What happens with our memories after we die? Is death terminal or are we only metamorphing into something else? Theory of cellular memory is blurring the boundaries between the borders of bodies, disrupts linear time-sequential progression of past, present and future. Sedimented bodies of organisms embody the cyclic dance of death and life. As Walter Russell once said, no movement, once started, ends. The end of one octave is just the beginning of another. The end of one wave is just a beginning of another wave. The end of one life is the beginning of another life. There is no death, we cannot die. For planet we are and to planet we shall return.

Among with the development of my short film, which is a long term project, I will be designing 3D printed objects and experimenting with 3D printing. These objects are planned as another output of the project in physical form.
