The piece is a satirical news-round dedicated to slugs. Embedded within is a genuine concern for how species will meet and form agreements in our global climate crisis. Composed through video mixing of mould, moving obj models, GLSL, current affairs and opera (sung by Samantha Hart), the piece renders slugs as symbols of our current condition in society. We need to share spaces with others and allow fruitful reciprocal relationships to thrive. Theorised with a hand from anthropologist Donna Haraway, from her books ‘When Species Meet’ and ‘Staying With the Trouble’.
