The Measure of All

2025

David Stout

The Measure of All - A speculative museum installation that draws attention to our Earth as a living, "breathing" being. Photosynthesis (Inhale) + Respiration & Decay release of CO2 (Exhale) + Oceanic Exchange + Volcanic Activity (Deep Breath). This short, infinite video loop acknowledges both the empirical measurement and metaphysical knowing that all of being exists within a single breath. One in an ongoing series of speculative conceptual installations created through a blend of gen-AI, electro-acoustic music / sound design, integrated with whatever else is needed from video editing, digital animation, drawing, writing, singing or speaking.
