As Above / So Below (2018)


Across human history, the Earth has existed as a site of struggle, where human intervention has led to ecological catastrophe and the diminishing of natural resources.

In the age of data, however, it has also been re-imagined in relation to  new algorithmic governing forces and to the material infrastructures that permeate the depths and the skies, encasing it in the vast interlocking structures of planetary computation.

As Above / So Below featured Emma Charles White Mountain (2016) and Ben Rivers Urth (2016)
