Nature distills thousands of hours of drone footage into a single trembling gaze—the eye of the Anthropocene witnessing its own childbirth. Here, the sublime terror of human expansion becomes palpable: bitumen spreading like mycelium, veins of industry pulsate across landscapes, the planet’s skin peeling back under our touch. This work lingers in the liminal moment where civilization tips between metamorphosis and necrosis, its hunger for dominion collapsing into autophagic ritual.

The video’s construction mirrors its thematic decay. Using a technique developed in collaboration with Kathryn Fischer (HYENAZ) and inspired by Tasman Richardson’s glitch ontology, every frame is surgically bound to fixed points in a soundscape that evokes the darker spectrum of 90s trance music. Image and sound fuse into synesthetic hemorrhage—scarred landscapes stutter like a scratched CD while glittering cities are spliced with slums, cut with broken gasps of text. This dystopian audiovisual rave creates the sense of human futurity as a nightmare in itself: it asks, is it more terrifying to imagine the end of humanity or its triumph?
