Beginningless Mind follows life on Earth where energy and information unwind cosmic law from order to disorder, and where the earthling is the youngest, yet most detrimental species.
The audio-visual trilogy observes a (post)colonial symbiosis of nature and culture harvesting Wikipedia as knowledge commons. Scalable timeframes explore earthy life from its early imaginings to live satellite imaging. The worldmaking produced by remote sensing of scientific apparatus is queered with ancient systems of beliefs. The threefold narrative considers planetary kinship as a visceral sense of interdependence, grounded in terrestrial breathing patterns and how other ecosystems' (plants, animals, earth elements) breath is mirrored in our own.
