The Nomad is the goddess of Home, of seeds and spores, of a sense of place. She is leader with a calling to return stolen land back to the Earth, on a quest towards geoengineering the planet to rehabilitation through reforestation and decontamination. She has made it her purpose to gather a collective of matriarchs to join a shift to a new kind of pastoral. Technology is her tool, the planet is her hurting sibling. Home is the result of a reciprocal relationship between her group and the landscape.
The Nomad is a generative animation connected to real-time data in which the digital and the physical are connected in symbiotic exchange. When the rate of world deforestation in a calendar day rises above the rate of the same day the year before it, this deity begins to effervesce into extinction. This transformation is haunting and yet, hypnotic, posing the question of how our connection as humans and our relationship to our technology is intertwined, throwing a word of caution of how our presence on this planet threatens the survival of vegetal life.
