u/digital_smarthome traces the extractive practices that reshaped the southern pine woods of the United States into the future of digital technoscapes. In this experimental video, AI-altered archives reveal continuities between ecological erasure and contemporary digital realities. By animating and distorting historical photographs, the work destabilizes the archive, oscillating between documentation and generative iteration, asking what happens when memory is mediated by AI and the past is continually remade.
The project has been presented at Dallas Aurora and featured in the Gulf Coast Literary Journal.
