Tunnel and Radio Skies

Video • 2024

In Tunnel and Radio Skies, a woman digs a hole like a portal in her urban backyard and sets off on a journey to find the signal while visual electromagnetic waves animate the landscapes. Video juxtaposes live footage with images created through the use of artificial intelligence text-to-image generators. Soundtrack features radio signal and interference, artificial intelligence music generators, and sounds recorded on location.

The work was filmed in Brooklyn and Brunswick in New York, Joshua Tree National Park and Guadalupe-Nipomo Dunes National Wildlife Refuge in California, Snowmass Village and Crater Lake in the Maroon Bells Wilderness in Colorado, Lost Dutchman State Park and Cave Creek in Arizona, Canmore in Alberta, and on Signal Hill in Newfoundland.

Additional funding from Pace University and the Amelia A Gould Research Assistantship. Parts of the work were made during a Visiting Artist stay at Anderson Ranch in Colorado; as Artist-In-Residence at Wave Farm in New York and Eastern Edge Gallery in St.John's; and during TempFiles Co-op's Season 3.
