Soundscape for Cyril de Commarque's 'Artificialis' installation, presented at the Saatchi Gallery in November 2019.

Artificialis takes as its starting point the Anthropocene era, the period when man first had a significant impact on Earth’s geology and ecosystems,  meditating on the effect that technology and scientific advancement will have on the evolution of humankind and the environment. It questions our responsibilities and the possible end of our civilisation. 

Advances in technology and science allow us to modify the essence of our species. As a consequence, Homo Sapiens will be superseded by a species of man’s own creation, Homo Artificialis. The featured works a meditation on this transformation. Rather than portray this in Utopian or Dystopian terms, the artist interrogates his own feelings about these developments using a sequence of sculptural miseen-scènes, creating a meta language between the use of recycled material, the technological process of creation and a sea of plastic to address his concept.
