Sludge Nation

Sludge Nation

“Sludge Nation” is a video work delving into the phenomena of “attentive capital,” the commodification of human attention, and the impact of incessant digital stimulation on our perceptions of reality. Created using a blend of CGI and AI-generated visuals, this video work is a narrative exploration of how digital interfaces and algorithmic operations mold human consciousness and blur the distinctions between the virtual and the tangible.
