Ward 602

About the artwork
“Ward 602” is the first generative AI video I created using datamoshing. The title links directly to the audio - a recording taken in a Glasgow hospital ward at 6:02am, June 19th 2023. The experimental video work seeks to recreate the feeling of almost grasping understanding, only for the trajectory to shift in the very moment of comprehension. Just as we begin to make sense of what we are seeing, the narrative pivots abruptly, ensnaring us in a continuous cycle of deciphering ever-transforming disorder.
