About the project

A nine-day time-lapse follows Physarum growing across discarded electronics and fossils. Image analysis in Fiji/ImageJ and sound synthesis in Max/MSP translate aspects of these changing processes into an audiovisual encounter.

Fallen tree parts, scrap metal and found technologies form an inverted speculative tree, with film and sound integrated into its trunk. The assemblage invites a reconsideration of what becomes waste, what persists and how unfamiliar forms of coexistence might emerge.

Biological, geological and technological afterlives, encountered through sculpture, film and sound.

Developed for the MA Art and Science at Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London. Presented at the CSM Graduate Showcase in 2024.
