CODEX is a project focused on the transcription and interpretation of beetle galleries into a speculative pictographic language.
My hypothesis is that I will uncover patterns that will lead me to interspecies communication awareness. What I have begun uncovering through a variety of translation strategies including AI, metagenomic coding, native science and myth making-- is an outside critique of humanity's role on Earth and the destructive similarities between beetle and man.
The artworks are visualized with a naturalistic aesthetic with attention to how much of the art work will decompose and return to the ground over time.
