Colony Rise
Indev project, 2027—25.
A spinning vivarium is a planetary artwork case study of a recoding of life via a process of evolutionary becoming. Colony Rise stages a nocturnal scene, a black box diorama in which arachnid and technologic materials deepen their dependencies, sensuality and their unpredictability.
Extant life forms with weaving instinctive functions and a city of light in successive iterations, both at a worlds-crossing mediation.
NOMs
Argiope bruennichi, Larinioides sclopetarius, Larinioides cornutus, insects and spider eggs incubators, predation, soil matrix, gases, minerals, moisture, erosion, elevation.
Machines
Sensorial panoramic tank with machine learning lighting and wafting system, control and rotation units.
