The Emperor’s Sundial
This AI generated work uses ruination to reimagine our role in time and examine the future into which we head. Constructed artificially from photographs, the project appropriates this ontologically novel tool to explore post-human digital landscapes. A potential world sits before us: machinic, computational and autodidactic. Long before our reality was algorithmically mediated, cyclical time enveloped us. By surveying ruins, we may witness and experience the this-worldly pace of life and of natural processes, of the crumble and wear of stone and brick. These vivifications stretch thousands of years into the past, and their echoes look into the future. The photograph, the ruin, the fossil, and the captured glitch cohabit uneasily in latent space.
