Meditation on Country brings together Indigenous knowledges and Western astrophysics through charting Creation time and evolutionary events. The talk will share the cultural and creative development process for the immersive experience generated through this artwork. Using scientific and cultural datasets with an array of early Machine Learning models to LLM models and trained through cultural programming protocols, this work uses foundational insights from the Indigenous Protocols for Artificial Intelligence (IP//AI) research developed over the past six years. We will explore how the artwork’s space and earth data visualisations and sonification interrogate technology as cultural practice and the role of resonance, language, and story within the context of evolution and Creation.
