Elemental Embodiment, Video art, Creative Coding, Dimensions Variable, 2023

Location
Kyiv, Ukraine

Special Thanks

Description
Classical elements of nature (earth, air, water and fire) aren’t sentient. But what if they were? How would they see themselves?

These animations were built using scientific imagery from NASA and Hydra, a live coding tool.

My framework of thinking and creating cites the works of anthropologist Eduardo Kohn (“How Forests Think”), philosopher Michel Serres (“Biogée”) and researchers Pia Spangenberger, Sonja Maria Geiger & Sarah-Christin Freytag (“Becoming nature: effects of embodying a tree in immersive virtual reality on nature relatedness”).
