Of CGI Alligators and AI-Resurrected Cypress Trees: Alice Bucknell’s Speculative Eco-Retreat is Big on Nonhuman Narratives

● 15/08/2022
“We hear more of the story told from the perspective of an alligator refusing to leave the park, and an AI-resurrected Bald Cypress Tree, than the delusional architect and real estate company brokering that world.”
– CGI artist Alice Bucknell, on the nonhuman voices in Swamp City (2021). In her dark eco-fiction, Bucknell satirizes the “booming market of ecotourism and half-baked ecological theories that stem from neoliberal fantasies of a ‘hypernature.’”
