A journey through fluid water, flowery, and bodily landscapes of pleasure and pain meandering through domestic and public spaces. Erotic queer energy through a political lens, being made ecological as non-normative storytelling. Playing with what environmental engineer and philosopher Malcolm Ferdinand calls “altéricide,” “the denial of the possibility of living on earth in the presence of another,” and the erotic’s as power, erotic of living, encounter with someone in joy.
In the video performance earth is a connector, where a repetition of movement, a performative repetition of gestures, loops as a sensory algorithm, in slow-motion re-organizing the order of things, playing with the gravity of space and time. Combining bodies, fibers, plastic with organic.
Data as a reconfiguration of shapes and gestures into a diversity of embodied forms. Close-ups of hands, nails, hair, bodies intersect color, sweat, specks of sand sliding between foreground, background. A zone between human and non-human, tech, and natural environment.
AI and non-AI generated poetry are created out of an archive of stories around sex ecologies, fluidity, visualization of queer spaces. The gathered texts and interviews are focused on the public realm, digital space, and physical tools that we use, gathered from live interviews, online writings, public platforms over the years. Here the phrases are composed more as poetic metaphors than technique, on the thin line of building data sets, training algorithms, postprocessing, artistic creations with and without humans. The alternative approach relies on the tension between predictable and unpredictable, autonomous, and traceable, influencing its outcome of material, process, and re-situating knowledge of systems; nature, mediator, culture.
