NARWHAL
A multimedia installation on transformation, ageing and invisibility
through the experience of women, AI and whales.
Narwhal is a multimedia installation with its starting points in artificial intelligence, female aging, and whales; specifically, the narwhal, one of the only other mammals known to experience menopause.
This project explores how these biological, technological, and ecological systems intersect through the shared themes of transformation, aging, and invisibility.
Using 360 film, sound, generative AI, and movement, Narwhal creates a sensory world where
ageing becomes a site of power rather than decline, and where menopause is reframed
not as an ending, but as a radical threshold.
The work interrogates how both ageing women and non-human intelligences are
rendered invisible in dominant cultural and technological narratives, and how AI might be
reclaimed to hold space for what is slow, intuitive, and resistant to categorisation.
Through embodied interactions and speculative storytelling, Narwhal invites audiences into a liminal space where human and whale, machine and body, merge in a shared choreography of becoming.
