Between ethereal performance, post-anthropocene sculptures, and pop-apocalyptic music, Ether Cove imagines a futuristic genesis in which hybrid beings— part human, part machines—emerge from a synthetic cove constructed of metallurgical fabric, lymphatic vinyl tubes and melded stones. Two creatures awaken to an electric tactility, gaining communication, filtered through predictive models. Emerges a quest to discover the source script in order to shape their own destiny.
