The audio-visual installation Configuration Drift investigates how contemporary technological regimes take material form, drawing on field research conducted in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore by Emerson Culurgioni and Viktor Brim during the summer of 2025, as part of the Mensch-Maschine-Artist-in-Residence-Programms.
The artists use drones to explore critical infrastructure and landscapes shaped by industries, exami¬ning how land is shaped and valued from a non-human perspective. Their imagery reveals how supply-chains of global data systems prioritise functionality over natural environments and social needs. The actors behind technological futures are not individuals, but flows of capital, economic imperatives, infrastructure investment, and increasingly efficient machinery, with progress predicated on ecological disruption and the extraction of value from elsewhere.
