King Klong
- Sublimation episodes of immortalized replication.
- Indev project, 2027—25.
King Klon sets a dependency between generative genetics and gaming computation for a real-time recoding of life; an artwork of sublimation episodes of immortalized replication.

Clepsydra, 2026. Study for the cloning engine fluid framework for King Klon. C-print on Hahnemühle Agave 290 gsm, unique work, 50 ⅛ x 61 cm / 20 x 28 ⅛ inches.
King Klong functions as a decentralized clepsydra and steering wheel. Scarce paleontological and genetic information in division processes occurs inside a game engine modifying sounds and images appearing on a large cubic screen.
Data sets
Past lives, negligible aging, sound records (Mohoidae), primate modern genus (Lemur, propithecus), mammals (Hare, jackrabbits).

Cell spin lines artificial expressions steer the scenes that make King Klon’s cubic screen film; rippled lifeworlds of fertilization intent, failure and success.
