A speculative visual and sonic fiction about silicon-based lifeforms, journeyed through five ecological stages: submarine, earth, living sand, dust, and not-earth.
We are wrapped in a digital shell of cloud computing, complex online interactions and interconnected networks, all of which are facilitated by silicon. Like a diatom, the extension of human form physically beyond carbon is already happening. We are becoming silicon-based lifeforms – our bodies are made of data and our minds are granular.
Machine learning, as well as 2D and 3D AI lenticulations, is utilised on a dataset of diatoms to illustrate the concept of organosilicon configurations and animate them as living entities.
