_.noocambriidæ._ for Video and 10-channel Audio
An Installation in collaboration with Andrew Wharton
Synthetic/Organic, digital/biological, virtual/actual, noocambriidæ brings into being monstrous entities that are born out of the compost pile of the collective unconscious as it operates through cyberspace. Though the exact date and attribution are uncertain, the term ‘noosphere’ is commonly linked to Vladimir Vernadsky, Teilhard de Chardin and Edouard Le Roy, as early as the mid-1920s. This concept refers to the third stage in the earth’s development, where the emergence of human cognition will fundamentally alter the geosphere and biosphere of the earth. noocambriidæ positions the noosphere not just as an emergent field, but as a substrate where entities can come into being. Through 3D animation and 10-channel spatialized sound, noocambriidæ acts as a nooscope into this realm of more-than-human behaviors, speculating on a second cambrian explosion of autonomous creatural forms born out of primordial cyborg potentials.
