Abstract

SPECIES PIRACY is an ongoing ensemble live cinema project inspired by the dark arts of de-extinction which premiered on 14th December 2023 at IKLECTIK, London. Supported by the Leverhulme Centre of Anthropocene Biodiversity (LCAB), it draws on histories of moving image projection as a form of both life and afterlife, from biological experimentation to dream palaces, seances, phantasmagoria and other cinematic manifestations. A new pioneering machine learning process was used to translate these histories into an exploration of the contemporary rhetoric, aesthetics, and strategies of de-extinction science, which is currently in an analogous stage of experimentation. The evening included a live cinema / video synthesis work in response to de-extinction science by Amy Cutler, Robin the Fog (Howlround), and James Holcombe (Erewhon), with live performances and experimental sets by Sarah Angliss, Murmur Ensemble / Matt Lewis, and Ojon / Jim Hobbs and a discussion panel with scientists and filmmakers.
