Aliens

Beneath Aliens' cinematic surface lies the alien itself, here a synthesis of origin and extraction, natural and supernatural.

Filmed inside a modern greenhouse using a rotating robotic arm, the work conjures the vantage of an enigmatic entity crawling through and surveying the inflorescence of its collection. Its soundtrack, emitted from three orifices in the projected wall, is composed of the throbbing noise of the robotic arm's wobbling motion alongside live on-set recordings captured with environmental and modified contact microphones installed on roots, branches, stems, leaves, soil, and artificial creeks.

Robotic arm, 4k film, motion training and control, software, greenhouse, low and high resonance speakers, amplifier, wall construction.
