“Time was a wave, almost cruel in its relentlessness…”

Silk / Flower / Hyper / Objects
The future springs eternal algorithmically generated. The future is jouissance, an excess of feeling so much it hurts.
This work looks at the explosion of Spring and the expanding climate/political crisis through an abundance of flowers photographed and processed through a generative adversarial network. Overlaying the original digital copy to parallel digitally mediated world /hyper objects with which we joyfully/painfully grapple.

Danny Brennen is writer, organiser and collaborative artist working across disciplines including film, radio, theatre, glitch art and participatory art. He explores horizontal organising and collaborative storytelling to build a new world inside the shell of the old.
Fiona Burke is a creative producer and arts manager, working between Dublin and Limerick. She holds a BA in Art History and English Literature from UCD Dublin. Her practice is informed by a fascination with nature, film and the unknown. She enjoys working with audiences of all ages and presenting works in unconventional settings, from exhibitions in old station houses to film screenings in Georgian Churches.
ICEBEAR is Eilis Mahon, a 23 year old experimental musician from Kildare who draws inspiration in equal parts from ambience and noise. The project began as a lofi recording project whilst Mahon was still in secondary school, and has since evolved to a primarily performance based project which uses live improvisation on electronics to explore alienation, anxiety and trauma. Icebear’s music is marked by a desire for catharsis & a belief in the healing power of collective noise making.
Icebear also currently curates a monthly mix show on Dublin Digital Radio called Pure Phase.
