BODY MACHINE (MERIDIANS)

The Fourth Phase of Water is a continuation of my Body Machine (Meridians) series—an exploration of spatial movement, speculative machines, and planetary biomes. This new work focuses on the Glacial Biome, tracing water’s transformation through its phase transitions.
During an Arctic expedition, I captured scans of melting glaciers, textures of ice, and the shifting light of the never-setting polar sun. I submerged in Arctic waters to experience time differently, recording gestures and movement data to inform the work.
This work consists of ten moving image meridians—visual compositions generated from spatial data, sound recordings, and sensor inputs. Inspired by Gerald H. Pollack’s research on water’s exclusion zone, the project explores how water is not just a substance but an active force, shaping and being shaped by its environment.
More info coming soon.
