# Project Description Rhizomatic Becoming in Deep Time Siyun Sun Summary Final work Siyun Sun is an FX artist and creative technologist whose work explores affect and and post-natural environments through immersive media. Using visual effects, mixed reality, and algorithmic systems, she constructs sensorial worlds that reflect on psychoanalytical rupture, ecological entanglement, and digital identity.

College Central Saint Martins Course BA (Hons) Fine Art Graduation year 2026 Satellite-informed simulations shape terrains that evolve in deep time, with rivers connecting rhizomatically and landscapes unfolding like memory. Technology acts as a sensorial medium, translating data and memory into environments that merge geological and psychological temporality, offering reflective, recursive encounters with matter and transformation. Final work Rhizomatic Becoming in Deep Time: Network Satellite-informed simulations shape terrains that evolve in deep time, with rivers connecting rhizomatically and landscapes unfolding like memory. Technology acts as a sensorial medium, translating data and memory into environments that merge geological and psychological temporality, offering reflective, recursive encounters with matter and transformation. Rhizomatic Becoming in Deep Time: Reflection What happens when emotion meets geology? When tears meet soil, erosion becomes empathy, a merging rather than a fracture. I explore the dialogue between geological and psychological time, where transformation becomes an act of reflection. Rhizomatic Becoming in Deep Time: Flow The terrains are affective, self-evolving environments. Here, technology operates as a sensorial medium that lets us feel the becoming of matter. Data, memory, and nature intertwine, revealing how the digital can mirror the Earth’s own slow pulse of change. Rhizomatic Becoming in Deep Time: Brushstroke The folded terrains translate planetary data into meditative, grayscale abstractions inspired by Chinese landscape painting. Code becomes brushstroke, erosion becomes gesture. Each topography mirrors interior life: grief, endurance, and reflection materialized as shifting form. These digital landscapes dissolve boundaries between natural and synthetic, inner and outer, self and world. Research and process Process I explore geological time, memory, and posthuman perception through procedural worldbuilding. Using Gaea and Houdini, I constructed terrains from satellite-derived elevation data, simulating erosion to form landscapes that evolve in real time. The accompanying film reveals this generative process, turning geological formation into visual narrative. This project bridges simulation, scientific modelling, and affective speculation, exploring how environments perform time, eroding, recomposing, and remembering themselves, to evoke a sensory experience of deep time that extends beyond human perception.
