CODEX ENTROPIA: 3D (2021) film, Anaglyph 3D, HD, 9:30min.

Codex Entropia is a cautionary epic assembled from found anaglyph images. Pell narrates an alternative history of an ancient civilisation that develops animal-based computing technologies, encoding information in landscapes rather than machines. The film addresses the entanglement of biological life and computational data, suggesting that memory and control can be embedded in ecological as well as digital systems. Original sound design by Jason Martin amplifies this uncanny world, where ghosts are treated as recordings and recordings as ghosts. Codex Entropia blurs speculative fiction with archival montage, offering a critical meditation on technology, power, and survival.
