Chroma Transmissions

After the Woods centers on the reunion of a young man and woman after a separation of 1000 years. Willed into existence by a conscious landscape that has rediscovered the code embedded within it, the man becomes a Knight adorned in armor while the woman is transformed into a Princess who over time evolves into a spaceship. While her metamorphosis represents the advancement of artificial intelligence his transformation triggers the evolution and expansion of the natural landscape. The Knight’s quest for the Princess leads him towards a realization and releasing code, disseminating consciousness like a form of alchemy throughout his immediate environment. The forest grows and becomes populated by fantastical creatures creating a new magical eco-system through which technology and nature are combined.

The Encoder — Programs and encrypts information, meaning, makes connections, perpetuates their longevity, causes saliency to remain, and intuition to last – all via Chroma Transmissions.

The Archivist — Records “everything,” alike the brain, or camera, but fundamentally affects no connections, like roads built before the trip.
