diviner [B]/ 4K video, stereo sound, 16’38’’, collaboration w. gabriele de seta/ 2025.
reflecting on evolution, manipulation and entropy, working with a breed of speckled chicken and machine learning; diviner [B] oscillate between narratives concerning the image, the archive, technology, society and polarisation. as ‘staged’ models – in their respective formats – [A] and [B] internalise questions on authenticity, the record, automation and the duplicate; where the image as medium, grain and projection, is considered through its elasticity - extending as both inner and outer imagery, lived and imagined realities – further considering the generated image as a visuality which operates through heritage. embracing chance, while discussing binary levels of control, parts of the book and the video alike, have been realised using markov chains. the black and white image, or thought –truth and fiction– are positioned amidst nuances of grey and smear, where objects in dissolution or conflict, strict and stuttering voices point to complexities bound to the medium, as well as to living matter.
