Tree Time imagina uma relação entre natureza e tecnologia não mediada pela presença humana. O vídeo foi filmado na floresta amazônica com um drone representando um ponto de vista incorpóreo que flutua através da copa da floresta densamente comprimida, decolando, pairando acima do solo e, ocasionalmente, retornando a ele. O título do trabalho é formado por uma série de entrevistas com um dendrocronologista que estuda métodos de rastreamento das mudanças climáticas através da "leitura" anual dos anéis das árvores na floresta amazônica - registros ecológicos revelam uma dimensão oculta do tempo narrativo dentro da própria natureza.

Your Vacuum Sucks is an episodic film by Pieter Schoolwerth and Alexandra Lerman in which the lead character has been digitally erased from the image. Appearing as a hole, a shadow, or a mirror reflection of his properly embodied friends and coworkers he pays a friendly visit to in each of the four scenes, he engages in a series of rebus-like exchanges in which he attempts to negotiate the nature of his existence, whereby he is present to others literally through his own visual absence.
