This film responds to a call to reimagine refugia not as enclosures, but as thresholds of transformation. Built through live-coded images and sounds, then fed into generative AI, the piece merges analog video glitches of the pre-Web1.0 era with the biomorphic textures of the early 2000s and the retrofuturist atmospheres of the pre-Web3.0 internet.

The result is an embryonic, proof-of-concept intermedia that vibrates between collapse and renewal, echoing the manifesto’s vision of refugia as sanctuaries where life adapts, modulates, and finds new pathways. Sight and sound become unstable and alive, forming a temporary ecology that resonates with the idea of art as a common language and a bastion of care.

Rather than a bunker, the film proposes refugia as a living interface, an open zone where entropy generates new possibilities, and where art, like life in past ice ages, creates spaces for survival, emergence, and community in uncertain futures.
