“Networked Beings – Parameters and Parallels” is an immersive video installation with 360-degree spatial sound. In the video work, the POV of ten different animals is transmitted as a kind of “speculative video data-set” to an AI for image recognition. The work is a audio-visual dialog between the unfamiliar portraits of nature, as habitats shot from the animals’ point of view, and insights into the purely mathematical data-processing of an AI neural network. Two non-human forms of being are juxtaposed in their processing of the world. This raises important, contemporary questions in the field of tension in the human-mediated relation between nature and technology. The visual data-set of animal perceptions recalls the richness and expansiveness of the natural world and quietly asks what information is being lost in the unstoppable processes of digitalization.
