Traveling 2046 is a performative utterance and personal eulogy that takes the form of a music video artwork. Emblazoned with nonstop prose, hypnotic hooks, and spoken words stitched by means of dream logic, the piece advances without a moment of visual pause or aural silence; relentlessly as time itself. Hyper-stimulating sequences of colorful images generated by 3D body scanners and human/nonhuman AI artists express the temperament of (non)human bodies deeply entangled with the sensorial experiences of ecological, technological, and biopsychosocial time. The project centers the artist’s body as a diffractive prism that urges nonhuman bodies-to-bodies to see with and through others; sensate, harmonize, shimmer, radiate, as a means to co-create narratives of co-existence. Would expanding our sense-abilities allow us to attune to the (un)forgotten and (un)seen embodied memories of the past and present? What yet-to-be imagined stories of the future are we haunted by and what actions can we take in the real-time-now to co-survive with our awakening apparitions in the anthropocene?
