3 channel video sound installation and webpage > www.the-void-botanic-miner.ch
The video sound installation can be understood in the broadest sense as documentary fiction. The focus is on overwintering tents for so called "alien species" and the visual, socio-cultural and ecological entanglements they represent and associate. Expansion and appropriation, invasion and colonization, uprooting and entrenchment, and the role of Homo Faber in these processes are alluded to and questioned. At the same time, an own fascination for space exploration and science fiction is not denied. The title is based on the open source modification of the same name by Environmental Tech for the computer game Minecraft.
