Dan Power || Snail Generations

Riffing on ideas of agriculture, cloning, permanence, regeneration and permutation, the AI-generated and human-edited 'Snail Generations' follows the cycles of the snail farming industry over the course of a number of years, recounting the lives and deaths of many generations of snails, their dis/reassembling by human hands, and the industry which thrives for decades on either side of their lives.
