valu's work explores the potential futures of digitally mediated societies within ecologically vulnerable contexts, challenging preconceptions about the intertwined fates of technology and the natural world. Their projects critically examine how digital infrastructures and media landscapes might evolve in response to, and in turn influence, environmental change, particularly within communities experiencing existential threats. Through a blend of rigorous data analysis and speculative scenario-building, their pieces create alternate future of wildlife conservation, digital sociology, and media. By creating multi-layered narratives, they make it possible to understand what it takes to conserve a species. valu consistently interrogates the power dynamics inherent in technological design and the potential for both utopian and dystopian outcomes, promoting reflection of such themes. Rooted in the cultural and ecological realities of their environment, the work aims to evoke the vulnerability of the human species, prompting deeper contemplation on our responsibilities and relationships with the planet and each other.
