This work looks at the media ecology of the late Anthropocene with a focus on technological systems of looking, paired with human ways of seeing, memory and neurological response.

Content is taken from television adverts, episodic historical re-enactments, and renderings of collapsed and new extra planetary worlds. Scientific demos of specific technological tools used for Forensic Science, visual animations of climate change scenarios and new planetary frontiers, and illustrations of sensory response systems are further incorporated into this work thereby creating a visual montage of historical narrative, emergent technology, televisual semiotics, and human sensory response. 

The sound is a composition entitled, Vates, a noun used as a technical term for ancient Celtic bards, prophets and philosophers. The composition derives from custom built software that assigns sound to orbiting space debris as it is tracked in real-time.  Data of proximity, distance and attitude variance are rendered into sound through analog synthesizers, signal generators, sampler, voice and more. The rawness of electricity is sculpted into thematic patterns, melodic shapes and textured ‘environments’ while straddling a compositional line between chance and control.
