MEMORIAL MATTER
deals with uncanny crossovers between earthly materials and modern infrastructure. The artists worked with a 16mm film archive from the Cold War era and the notion of progress through industrialization, mining, and automation that emerge from the moving images. They work with artificial neural networks (AI) to transform the collective imaginary from the cold war era into materials that refer to a future as distant as the past is to the minerals from which they were constructed. The creation of fictional narratives about futures of coexistence shift the digital imaginary to the rematerialisation of a new possible space-time from the ruins of the Anthropocene age.
