Iridescence

Description:

Iridescence is a video installation that explores the entangled forces of surveillance, perception, and environmental change. Using satellite imagery of human- and nature-made patterns in the soil and environment, real-time air quality tracking, and generative algorithms, it creates evolving visual compositions that reflect how landscapes are shaped by both human activity and natural processes.

At the center of the work are wave-like forms inspired by the ever-changing patterns of the sea. These patterns shift continuously, driven entirely by environmental data streams and generative algorithms. Mirroring autonomous surveillance systems, the installation processes external inputs without revealing its internal mechanics, remaining opaque and unpredictable in its behavior.

Taking its name from the phenomenon of iridescence—where surface structures produce shifting colors—the piece resists static interpretation

The video’s sound is the artist’s improvisations.
