With the immersive spatial installation ‘Terminal Beach,’ designed specifically for MAK, the London-based artist collective Troika (Eva Rucki, Conny Freyer, and Sebastien Noel) unveils a dystopian landscape at the edge of time, portraying the end of natural life on our planet and the intersection of the virtual and material worlds.

The artists will explore the multi-layered forms of non-human intelligence within an immersive site-specific installation.

Troika’s ‘Terminal Beach’ is an animated film portraying a futuristic end-time scenario where an ape-like creature fells what is believed to be the last tree on Earth. In this scene, the robot concludes what humanity initiated long ago – the progressive destruction of our planet.With this first solo exhibition in Austria, Troika focuses on the complex forms of non-human intelligence and raises questions regarding the adaptation of living beings to climate change as well as the digital afterlife of human myths, culture, and history.
