Part of the Deep Meditations (2018) series, Deep Meditations: Abiogenesis focuses on the emergence of life, and the evolution of single and multicellular organisms. Created using deep learning and artificial neural networks trained on thousands of microscopic images.
Deep Meditations is a series of works that exist in various forms, primarily a large-scale video and sound installation; a multi-channel, long-form abstract film; a monument that celebrates life, nature, the universe and our subjective experience of it. The work invites us on a spiritual journey through slow, meditative, continuously evolving images and sounds, told through the imagination of a deep artificial neural network.
We are invited to acknowledge and appreciate the role we play as humans as part of a complex ecosystem heavily dependent on the balanced co-existence of many components. The work embraces and celebrates the interconnectedness of all human, non-human, living and non living things across many scales of time and space – from microbes to galaxies.
Exhibited at EMERGENCE, Kate Vass Galerie, Zürich, Switzerland, 2026.
