AllSky installation at the Camberwell College of Arts Degree show

Generative moving image installation

Shown here installed as part of the Camberwell Degree Show.

Over the course of 20 minutes Allsky procedurally generates a whole day/night cycle. Every image and second is a unique moment, never to be seen again.

A Latent Diffusion Model I purpose-built from scratch continuously live generates smooth day/night cycles, on a 20-minute loop, projected on a 6x3m fabric sheet suspended from the ceiling.

Inspired by my research into operational images, I wanted to investigate how so much of our visual and media cultures are built upon technologies that fix velocities of light onto a 2d plane, used as tools of measurement and classification.

As visitors are constantly aware of the passage of time created by the piece, it demonstrates how new technologies can operate as alternative and speculative worldbuilding tools.
