PROJECT : EARTH (2024)

The year is 2024 AD and there is a rental crisis in deep space. Property prices are through the roof and housing stock is at an all time low. Celestial overpopulation leads to civil unrest that erupts throughout the galaxy as there is no space left in space. Until two rogue developers from the future descend on a small blue planet located in the Laniakea Supercluster, in search of new property acquisitions. This development opportunity would be forever known as PROJECT : EARTH!

The sound effects will contain computer user interface and mechanical/digital device inspired sounds to enhance the impression of actual sentinel scans/evaluations taking place around the audience at the installation site

The musical soundtrack will take inspiration from suspenseful down-tempo / 80’s sci-fi spy thriller / dub / video game music (half time, dotted 1/8th note delays, analog pads, metal samples, LFO, LPF, vibrato)

marine_digital_conservation_SA_2023.exe, looks toward an inevitable digital future where we may live on a lifeless, artificial planet with only poor digital representations of the extinct species we have destroyed.
All over the world climate change caused by human hands under western capitalism has already made an enormous impact on the extinction of biodiversity of flora and fauna. If we continue on this path, which we show no meaningful signs of slowing down, soon there will be nothing left other than us humans and the livestock we like to consume. Millions of years of evolution annihilated for the sake of short-term corporate profits.
As a society we have chosen not to reduce our unsustainable consumption practices but to instead poorly digitise these living natural beauties before they are lost forever. Some chilling examples include the last remains of the extinct thylacine (80 seconds of black and white film footage and a handful of pelts) and the island digitisation project of Tuvalu, a Pacific Nation which will soon be underwater due to rising sea levels who are creating a virtual replica in a desperate effort to preserve their cultural heritage.
