GRACE ŒS (BETA) is an immersive, audio-visual installation, enveloping visitors in a future world, the AMORPHOCENE. In this post-Anthropocentric epoch humans have learned to become shapeshifters, merging as one with the more-than-human world. This helps them to design technologies indistinguishable from nature. GRACE ŒS is the operating ecosystem of the AMORPHOCENE. It has descended from this future-timeline to today‘s world with a message for humanity. The question is, what will we do with its advice?
"Using an immersive sound experience and procedural 3D imagery we are able to position the audience directly within a future world. The experience could be very disorienting, pushing against people’s accustomed perceptions and comfort levels. By transporting people into strange new realms we provoke the possibility for a transformation of their perception, from worry to hope for the future of AI, and from being disconnected from nature to being intertwined with it."
Exhibited at Buitenplaats Doornburgh Maarssen Nov '21 - March 6 '22
