To The Bin My Friend, Tonight We Vacate The Earth
To The Bin My Friend, Tonight We Vacate Earth is a three piece digital simulation consisting of photogrammetric processes, animation and audio. The work explores ideas around mortality as well decisions that are made daily by people and those who influence them. Insects and flies are simulated along different paths while the weather experiences rapid changes throughout the piece, ultimately heading towards one outcome. The audio for the work is a combination of collected sounds from nature and effects created by the artist highlighting the playful approach to producing the piece.
