Mx.D.P

Using Autoethnographic Abstracted Materialism, 2050:2100 weaponises art and collaboration to resist the void of climate chaos and establish a network of Creative Kindness.

This work is driven by the impending Geopolitical Climate chaos of biome degradation, resource scarcity, mass migration and societal collapse. Using up precious resources, I asked A.I. when the Earth would become uninhabitable:

‘Predicting an exact date is highly complex and uncertain, 2050 to 2100 catastrophic impacts on global ecosystems and human societies.’

Featuring two long painted banners, queering Nazi banners of hate to become The Banners of Kindness, flank a TV Screen. The film ‘2050:2100’ loops. A.I., Process and a recording of the opening night’s Dadaesque performance. A small black sketchbook at wheelchair height is the Abstracted Materialism manifesto, ‘Our Struggle’, an ironic ‘Mein Kampf’, reveals layered process paintings of Kindness. Hanging alongside is the outrageous costume of Mx D.P. in a tribute to Leigh Bowery’s struggle of trans-human expression.

By refusing the separation of human and environment, body and biome, a provocative reclamation of iconography and trans-narrative happens.

Using bodily waste, urine, and spit (to save precious water), re-cycled fashion, glitter, acrylic paint, and A.I., the work questions what is considered waste or excusable resource.

Focusing on process and interconnectedness, the voyeur becomes a participant, filmed on opening night to witness the transformative.

To join the evolving network, the installation is alived. Blurring boundaries between art, activism, and life, the work invites the voyeur to touch and feel.

To embrace their relationship of consumption, waste, and kinship with the Earth.

The work mirrors the adaptive strategies of resilience. Translated, whipped, interconnected, non-binary, accessible, and always in transformation.

Both warning and celebration – 2050:2100 is a gathering space.

A call for Creative Kindness to respond to climate chaos with creativity, solidarity, and the unruly hope of making otherwise.

The Abstracted Materialism of 2050:2100 uses: Bodily waste, urine and spit.

Earth polluting materials of glitter, plastic acrylic paint, discarded fashion, old watercolour paint, A.I. animation and electronic media.

Canvas, support and sketchbook used are within my own supplies, to used up not discarded.

The painting process used, eliminates water waste. Materials are plasticised on canvas and paper and not washed into the sea.

The AI animation uses huge amounts of water and energy.

This work is witness the consumption of creation.
