Fish out of Water

Rosemary Bruce, Millie Pickburn-Perkins

We’ve created a short film using cyanotype animation, a natural process featuring images of water. Our idea was to comment on how AI’s rapid water usage has resulted in us entering a global water bankruptcy. Imagining a world without clean drinking water, we reused water from the sources photographed for the washing stage of the process, with the idea that AI data centres should find a way to do the same, reusing unclean water rather than draining the little resources the planet has left.
