Sonic Acts Festival – Hereafter

2019
Non-binary, Earthly, and Performative visual identity radicalising art-and-science.

The award winning visual identity Hereafter problematizes complexities of extractive economies. Visual research lead us to investigate infrastructures and maps of heavy industries, underground mines, and quarryis. All these places are hidden to our eyes, nonetheless they have a lot to tell as environmental evidences tracing "stolen" resources. How has capitalism made the Earth a purely economic resource?
