Mother Arkah A Filmic Allegory on the Rise and Fall of Ideologies ‘Mother Arkah’ is an 18-minute animated short film exploring a speculative climate-apocalypse scenario and the hypothesis of the posthumanist ideology ‘Bio-Technoism’. The project investigates concepts on prohibiting the ‘religion of growth’, future power structures shaped within the ‘Posthuman Convergence’, AI-driven symbiogenetic evolution and autopoietic architectures. The film serves as an allegory on mechanisms behind political belief systems, while posing questions about how deep the ‘urge for innovation’ is rooted within us humans and therefore how much humanness our planet can take. The virtual film production is executed in Unreal Engine 5. Media: Film, Sculpture, Publication — Info: for this competition I'm submitting the 1-Minute version to the whole film.

“Tiny Victories 2.0. A Tale of Empathy” tells the story of Chioco Design's team journey when building a micro home for an individual who has struggled with chronic and sustained homelessness. How organizations like AIA Design Voice and Mobile Loaves & Fishes works timely to offer hope for the community. The word “empathy” serves as a prompt in the development, and execution, but mostly the idea of leaving behind preconceptions of what it is like to live without a home.
