I am honored to share that my short film Portal was selected to premiere at The Wrong, an international art biennial with viewership in the millions. Portal is housed in We've Been Dreaming About A Magical Jungle — one of the pavilions comprising the 6th edition of The Wrong Biennale, on view from November 1, 2023 to March 1, 2024.
Curated by Cansu Peker at Digital Arts Blog, We've Been Dreaming About A Magical Jungle is a virtual art exhibition that invites viewers “into a realm where nature, technology, identity, and spirituality converge to create a mesmerizing tapestry of human experience.”

About Portal
From a visual perspective, Portal appears to follow a confused and curious cockatoo on a never-ending quest navigating through uncharted digital wilderness. The looping artwork contemplates the ways in which continuous advancements in technology and natural language processing (NLP) alter how intelligent beings interpret experience and interact with various planes of existence. The semantical looseness of the phrase 'intelligent beings' is purposeful: intended to question presiding conceptual frameworks for consciousness and ontology rooted in anthropocentrism. These notions seem to function as both extensions of and rationales behind concurrent power dynamics, with human dominance depicted as a fundamental truth. By daring to shatter epistemological boundaries, Portal offers an escape from such paradigms.
