Artworks, material and context -
The Phenomenon Within a small glass vessel, approximately eight billion microorganisms comparable to the human population of Earth - swim, rotate, and synchronise their movement in response to a changing magnetic field. These are Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense , magnetotactic bacteria whose bodies contain chains of iron crystals that physically align them with magnetic forces. As they reorient together, the way they scatter light shifts, producing a visible shimmering across the liquid. This is The Phenomenon - not mechanical, chemical, or digital, but entirely alive. 2026 -

AI in the Sky The Encephalartos woodii is a cycad believed to be extinct in the wild. Only one specimen was discovered and it has since been propagated in botanical gardens. However, existing specimens are clones originating from this single plant and all are male. With the female specimen undiscovered AI in the Sky partakes in the search for the female using drone technology and artificial intelligence (AI). 2024 -
