The Rites of Power @ 3AM | 08/2015

In 2015, I created a video work, The Rites of Power, which was presented later in the year at the 3AM event in Berlin.

“Back in the 3797AD, as pre~dicted, humans left a lot of things behind.

Some of the more impressive visible structures were the electric power trans~mission lines that used to distribute energy across surface.

Survivors of Terra developed a cargo cult, completely self-aware and totally meta-stable, to worship the remnants of those networked structures. They meditated on the magical process of creating magnetically-charged circular movement within the turbines of power stations, producing a motion of electrons through alternating the current, and then transferring them to the most remote destinations to be later converted into light, heat, terabytes of data, and – in some cases – back into fire and movement, again.”
