co-worm-ing
2023, Testing Grounds QVMprocess-led collaborative projects
In a series of digital installations, production materials are locally compiled, collectively consumed, edited and reused over time, much like organic materials in a compost heap.
The work invites us to consider how we handle large amounts of digital content, what our metabolising processes are, and how nutrient-rich content can be produced using devices that are readily available (like your phone).
‘co-worm-ing’ is a working process rather than a fixed outcome.
Developed as part of Public Art Park 23 Lab, Emily, Joy and a mobile worm farm went out for a live composting walk with the public at Queen Victoria Market.
