Will's Hill is a play with words and also a reference to Wills Hill, the Brit who served as secretary of state for Britain’s North American colonies from 1768 to 1772 under the name of Lord Hillsborough and who the river is named after. The changing nature and interacting elements of sky, sunlight, raindrops, algae blooms, thunder clouds, animals and more, are used as prompts for reorienting a personal as well as shared past, while exploring the ecology of forces that causes, acts and wills. By mixing and resampling human words, texts and rhythms from memory, our digital commons and a specific locality, Wallin creates chants for willing new subjectivities, while training AI to speak them.
