Video - Autopoiesis

AUTOPOIESIS (2021) - streamed during Satellites Lab

This short video-animation imitates the generative process behind the formation of language. The viewer is immersed in a primordial atmosphere where abstract gestures, movements and sounds gradually shape descriptive words..

The main idea is that language works like a self-generative organism which is resembled in the title “Autopoiesis” (from Greek (auto-) 'self', and (poiesis) 'creation-production') As language evolves… we are taken by the movement of syllables and letters that replicate from one another driven by an invisible (algo)rhythm.
