They are created from 3D scans and drone footage, rendered and animated in 3D as discrete virtual entities simulating Tarkovsky-like islands of memory. 1. Chemiewerk Rüdersdorf, an abandoned chemical factory in the former German Democratic Republic 2. The Teufelsberg, a NSA listening station in Berlin built on top of a man-made hill constructed from the rubble of WW2 Berlin. 3. Immerath, a ghost town in western Germany removed in 2017 by the energy giant RWE for the expansion of their open cast coal mine, Garzweiler. 4. The Martha Project, a NZ open cast gold mine whose mining operations ground to a halt due a major landslide collapsing the north wall of the mine. 5. Domes of Case Grande, an incomplete and abandoned futuristic computer facility in Arizona. 6.
