MIAMI_[2522]

— PARDON THE INTERRUPTION —

There is a transmission from our future - about our future.

MIAMI 2522 is a speculative exploration of life on planet earth after the impacts of climate change. The story positions itself locally at a Miami-based museum, featuring the transformed grounds within its mutated landscape. A message has been sent from this future to the past (our present) in the hopes of changing the timeline. Is it too late?

MIAMI 2522 is a collage of mixed media: 3D digital modeling, text to audio transcriptions, and augmented reality (AR) clips fuse together to create a video of a world that is both familiar and alien.

TERRAFISH_diagnostic [2521]

Backdrop:

It is 500 years into the future. South Florida has undergone a watery transformation in which the environment has reverted to its original pre-drainage state. The highly engineered Kissimmee-Okeechobee-Everglades watershed is once again free flowing and has drowned most of the southern tip of Florida under water. Once upon a time an art institution named the Pérez Art Museum Miami created back transmissions of future species that would thrive on its grounds. For example, there is Terrafish, a direct mutation of the Portuguese man o’ war. The man’o war tended to travel and survive in colonies and eventually fused and terraformed onto land. The old hanging gardens of the museum’s east terrace now facilitates nourishment for Terrafish as they reach up and engulf the vegetation.

Medium:

In 2521 a diagnostic analysis takes place in order to untangle the tangled evolution of the species of Terrafish occupying the grounds of the former Pérez Art Museum Miami. The findings will be presented to A.I.R. Gallery in the form of a video. The video (video length tbd) will be applied to the The Scalability Project in order to explore the impact of climate change mutation using the temporal compressions of time and the visual capacity to zoom in and out. This process will be augmented using existing open source content such as GIS mapping software.

Technical Requirements:

The video shall be embedded on A.I.R.’s website within The Scalability Project platform portal. The diagnostic analysis will further utilize coders of the A.I.R. Gallery’s website for translation and transcription to present the research for Residual Humans and derived Wide Humans in the year 2521.

[2] Wide Humans as defined by David Roden in his text The Disconnection Thesis. i.e. “However, once a feasible precursor has been produced the Wide Human could be poised at the beginning of a disconnection process since the capacity to generate disconnection would be a realized technological power. We may be in a position to know which, if any, of the “usual suspects” (Nanotechnology, Biotechnology, Information Technology, Cognitive Science) might bring about a disconnection only when the potential for disconnection is in prospect.” page 12.
