Aerial views of forests, residential city streets, internal cellular structures, and the tension of raw muscles — all of these images blur together in Ivona Tau’s GAN AI video, After Us (After Nondescriptives), a 50-second perfect loop.

The abstracted forms at the work’s opening morph into branches and leaves before transforming into the glass and steel storefronts of city streets. It is in this trek through the uncanny valley that Tau finds her aesthetic, drawn from analogue photography. We watch the construction of landscapes dissolve and regenerate. The morphing animation shows a constant destruction of nature and infrastructure, signalling the simultaneous destruction of the natural world and the creation of the digital one.
