Abstract
Inspired by machine learning, situated knowledges, climate collapse, post truths, seed banks, Gerturde Stein and disintegration
loops, my current artistic work and research attempts to ‘capture and represent’ the richness of the world as it breaks. The centre of
this project is a series of micro videos I am referring to as the ‘knowledge system videos’. These videos - each less than 30
seconds long - are an autotheortical cataloguing of the world. They are fragmented objects that define mundane objects and
actions in the midst of climate collapse, global fascism, repeating pandemic, international warfare and epistemological crises. The
result is a dataset, a seed bank of ideas, a deceptively simple list ( of objects, actions, feelings, events) illustrated by stock footage
and narrated by memories and unstable definitions to find significance in the most minute details of the world. Through installation
and performance, I want to create systems in which this generic, generalised visual material repeats and is slowly eroded by filters,
by processes of capture and retransmission. The world, as if it could be known as a single thing, slowly falls apart. The effort to
capture, to preserve by translating between visual forms that instead is a catalyst for decomposition.
