FOREST FACTORY (Andreas Trobollowitsch / Elvin Brandhi) feat. KENICHI IWASA

Forest Factory is an entanglement of flora and thorns, immaterial industries of receptive amplification, and enhancement of forest force. A non-anthropocentric meeting of organic and inorganic matter, inverting the hierarchies of industrial demand. Forest Factory is fueled by the voices and personalities that make up a tree- city, learning from the forest indifference to computational despair. Our anti-extractive attention technique aims to eternalise the forest’s depth, via active listening and transgression of leaf-speak into digitally commutable frequencies and performable forms.
