Seasonal Transmutation Suite (Video)

------------------------------------------------------------------------


Four short videos (Drift, Data Stream, Regeneration & Autumnation) edited into a suite depicting the seasonal changes in New York State as seen from both human and technological perspectives at the macro and micro levels with the two often overlapping, interfering and/or complimenting each other. As people’s senses become increasingly augmented by machines at rates previously envisioned only in science fiction stories, this project attempts to encapsulate the experience of viewing the cycle of nature through the current lens of relative technological/biological equilibrium for posterity should our cyborgian descendents ever decide to eschew one element in favor of the other in the course of their evolution. One question that arises from all of this is whether natural beauty will cease to have any meaning in a post-human world or will we simply appreciate it in new ways?
