Agent Dreams
The indices seed a diffusion model. It builds something else out of what it found: something that could be nature, or technology, or both at once. Each frame opens from inside the one before it, and the last is made from the same source as the first.
Nothing is separate. A leaf, a river, a circuit — one rhythm.
The descent
Eight frames from the video, each opening from inside the one before it: a chip that grew tentacles, a jellyfish, a flower, a galaxy. The ninth frame is the first one again — the loop closes. Scroll, or step with the arrow keys, or use the scale buttons on the right.

A year of camera traps.
Twelve stations on one landscape beside a working production. Cameras and audio recorders ran for 365 days and were serviced by hand, through the winter.
European Turtle Dove, Streptopelia turtur — Vulnerable. 1,428 detections out of 30,594: under five percent of the traffic, and the reason the parcel counts.
