agco 8t
agco 8t shadows a virtual combine harvester threshing a field of corn at night in a video game world. The combine’s interactions with the corn during various stages of the harvest create graphical textures, marks and shapes which emerge from and disappear into digital darkness. Might exposure to the mechanics and processes of very large farm equipment in a virtual space prompt deeper reflection on their use IRL?
