Watch Spatial Bodies (drone tests)

The Japanese 'esoteric sect' AUJIK designs artificial sculptures formed by buildings-body-distortion of nature called 'Spatial Bodies'.  Spatial bodies is the first CGI/drone test for an upcoming project with deconstruction of architectural objects. In 'Spatial Bodies' video and fictional images, AUJIK, defines itself also as a 'nature/tech cult', creates fabricated stories by using existing natural elements, buildings, urban panoramas that are the 'primitive' parts of the nature as AUJIK described and these natural 'primitives' are manipulated by uber-technology such as robotics, artificial intelligence, cybernetics, DNA manipulations, and body enhancements. AUJIK calls this 'the harmonization of the organic and synthetic realms''

''These virtual appearances suggested decades-old lineage through theoretical schematics outlining their transgressive mission, citing faux reports arguing the life of inanimate matter and modern forms of animism from fictional anthropologists and philosophers. Animated imagery of organic-mechanical hybrids manifest in Japanese forests amidst cloaked figures is paired with a sonic atmosphere set by Mira Calix, Scottish musician Christ and as well as other electronic artists and offers new ideologies reminiscent of Shintoism'' says AUJIK narrators. 

For AUJIK, nature is divided into 'refined' and 'primitive' categories. This seperation presents a conflict that is the root of all chaos in the world, and in order to reach a sublime state. Especially, in 'Spatial Bodies', the nature, existing urban panoramas, buildings, landscapes, materials, stones, trees are presented as an impossible environment by destroying and reordering the natural components of urban settings.

AUJIK adds that ''the Primitive includes fauna, flora, and the Earth itself with its precious stones, minerals, and metals. The pulsating foliage and advanced interfaces that emerge in the biosphere serve as sacred artifacts, visions of a futurist environment. Through crossbreeds of biotic and technological systems, AUJIK’s animism for the Digital Age presents new possibilities for evolution and strives for Post-Human nirvana''
