Recovery 2026

Recovery encapsulates this series of work with its dual meanings, of the resuscitation of vulnerable species and of the act of finding what was lost, be it pieces of art or scientific data. Through the presence of QR codes, audiences are encouraged to participate in this recovery, making use of intertwined technology and art, while also being exposed to some of the harsh impacts of modern digital infrastructures. 

Artificial landscapes are abstracted through printing processes where QR codes overlay once present wildlife. Countless vulnerable creatures align themselves in rigid unnatural patterns in confused servitude of a digital world. Audiences use (sometimes dysfunctional) technology to play environmentalist, while these same systems are sustained by that which causes ecological harm. 

This work comes from a place of both love and disappointment in contemporary digital spaces, harmonising my disciplines of visual art and game design. This dynamic compels audiences to interactively critique the costs of certain new technologies, while engaging in a faux ecological recovery.
