SUBLIME SYNAESTHESIA 02

2.0

Sublime Synaesthesia 2.0 is a tribute to lichen as the pioneers of the mountainside, we study their curious qualities through macro photography, UV light, photogrammetry and procedurally generated growth patterns.

2.1

Sublime Synaesthesia 2.1 deals with growth in high altitude environments and the unique interactions between natural ecosystems and human intervention. Sublime Synaesthesia 2.1 is based on research and fieldwork in the area of Folldal and Dovre, and focuses on disused industry in mountain areas and the scars it has left on the landscape. Even after decades of inactivity, little grows in many of these areas, apart from small patches of lichen. The works explore this strange meeting point between nature and the remains of industrial processes, and by using artificial intelligence we imagine a future with adapted ecosystems recolonized by hybrid species. 

2.2(beta)

Sublime Synaesthesia 2.2(beta) we continue to work with the AI we have trained on our own data sets, and produce a hybrid-lichen-data-bank, while at the same time exploring lichen's fluorescent properties in the shape of larger light sculptures. Exhibited at Grenseløs - Trondheim 2024.
