Presented as part of YIRRAMBOI festival, Ama Algorithmus (Mother Algorithm) explores our relationship to the algorithms that increasingly have control over our thoughts and behaviours. I am interested in the mystical qualities that are often attributed to the algorithm and our subsequent worshipping of it. The mixed media installation includes a video work displayed over four screens and hand printed self portraits on silk using the 19th Century process of Cyanotype.  I am so pleased to share that the video has an original music composition by cellist, Thomas Veitch and his collaborator Alistair O'Brien.
