While it is projected that lithium-ion batteries will power our green future, I wonder about whose territory will be left powerless in this contradictory return. Reading Todd C. Frankel’s Washington Post lithium-ion investigation, I learn mining cheap Manganese, Cobalt, Lithium and Graphite, put extreme exploitation of basic human rights.In this examination of power- industrially and metaphorically, I pose the battery as a religious entity, compositing looped animations in Google blue skies, letting it become its own traveller of power, environment, territory and technology.I am taught that technology is powerful- a gateway for the infinite but I am not so sure anymore. “God is in the mountains” a farmer affected by Graphite says. “When mining comes and the grassland is dug up, people believe worse disasters will come. It destroys the mountain god.”Funding by SIGNAL Arts, City of Melbourne
