weaving, projection, performance
This is a large-scale weaving and collaborative performance which concurrently balances acts of creation with acts of destruction through acts of repair. A constant cycle of making and un-making. The large-scale woven installation simultaneously represents a mycelial network and quantum notions of time. Together, the mycelial weavers build and make the piece into existence. At the opening, audience members were encouraged to pick up balls of rope and weave and create messages.
Projected onto the weaving is an animation made through the AI learning system style GAN. The images depicted are burning suns, photographs taken of red suns during wildfire. The AI network learns the images through an adversarial network then recreates its own version of the image.
