SOUGWEN CHUNG | SEED THEORY

NFT DROP: 1 OCTOBER 2024 | 6 PM CET

SEED THEORY by Chinese-Canadian artist Sougwen Chung is a series seeded from human movement, glacial textures, and the Earth as seen from above.

The themes in SEED THEORY continue the artist's research in alternative constructions of human, machine, and ecology. The work integrates gestures from the artist's Meridian dataset—part of the training data for the next generation of the collaborative drawing system D.O.U.G.

The SEED THEORY series was incubated during the Ignota Books residency, focused on Lynn Margulis and Gaian Systems, and further explored during a research seminar hosted by The Gaia Art Foundation in 2022.
