Research Question

His recent work deals with the relationship of mankind with the non-human, using Artificial Intelligence to write texts from the perspective of the earth. At the FilmForward Vrijplaats Residency Mark wants to do research for a speculative film, experimenting to this end with elements including storytelling, measurements by geophones spread over the Netherlands expressed in sound, and processed archive material.
