Nurtured over two years of collaboration, workshops, and live concerts, Software Garden is a music video album by artist Rory Pilgrim, which asks how we meet and create connection from both behind and beyond our screens. The piece is narrated by poet and disability advocate Carol R. Kallend, who questions if it is possible to create spaces that unite the human, ecological and technological with basic principles of empathy, care and kindness.
Programme: Rory Pilgrim, Software Garden, 2018. HD video, 51 min 36 sec.
Recently screened as part of the Artists Moving Image Festival, Software Garden will be introduced by Kitty Anderson, Director of LUX Scotland.
