Chrysalis is a glitch-based film that explores the possibilities for experience beyond the human through concepts of transmigration; rather, the soul or anima passing on to another form after the flesh deteriorates. In its themes of impermanence, surrender, and shared ontologies among the human and nonhuman, Chrysalis explores an ethics for artificial intelligence in new media art as a technology of everyday magic and spiritual introspection, imagining spiritual realms as states of the mind through speculative, immersive worldbuilding.
