Composting is an artist residency project at Siteworks in Brunswick. A worm farm compost system has been built in the Siteworks garden. Kitchen waste is ingested by worms and decomposes to form a rich humus. Simultaneously, an evolving collective of digital compost is accumulated using processes in 3D scanning and rendering. This forms mounds of slippery pixels that disintegrate and re-emerge as various art works. The residency explores the cross-pollination of matter from these two compost systems, digital and physical, as they feed into each other via recursive processes in the recirculation of materials.
