u/digital_smarthome, 2025 traces the extractive reshaping of America's southern pine forests, considering how extractive systems continue into digital technoscapes. Working with AI-altered archival images, Smart Home reveals continuities between ecological erasure and contemporary digital realities. By animating and distorting historical photographs, the archive becomes destabilized, allowing the video work to move between documentation and speculative fiction.


Earlier iterations of this project appeared as edited stills on the cover and in a multi-page spread in Gulf Coast: A Journal of Literature & Fine Arts, Vol. 37.2 (Summer/Fall 2025).
