Documentation of the multi-channel version of "Fauna Jam" by Jenson Leonard Cory in The Abyss using the AV System at the Video Archaeology Lab.

The editing and video screen content was created during The DEAD MEDIA Residency (2026), an educational and creative opportunity for using video and media technology for making new media artwork.

“In an alternate world where monster truck culture evolved around biodiversity rather than branding, Fauna Jam follows a televised arena spectacle populated by pangolins, mantis shrimp, jellyfish, beetles, and macaws as the boundaries between species, mascot, commodity, and spectator begin to dissolve.” - Jenson Leonard
