Ant with bird poop, 2020
Edition 1 of 1 Single-channel video w/ audio .mp4, 1920 x 1080, 09:30 One summer afternoon, I recorded an ant carrying dried bird poop across the yard until my phone overheated in the sun. This video begins as a mindfulness exercise - but takes on a different meaning when placed in a blockchain context. It becomes reflective of how we’re creating pathways towards equitable distribution under the volatility of technology, and how this moment feels chaotic, condensed, and hard to grasp - almost dream-like. In addition, it’s important to consider the gesture of preservation and what is meaningful to make “permanent”. For me, preserving mundane - yet profound - moments of the natural world, is 100% worth preserving, they're mirrors for us.
