A still image from Bassam Al-Sabah’s CGI video artwork called Dissolving beyond the worm moon from 2019. In the centre of the image stands a life-size male figure. He is wearing a red, yellow and black cartoon-style tightly fitting suit complete with facial visor, chest plate, arm armour, a diamond shaped belt, and boots. His feet are apart and his back is arched as he looks upwards. He is standing on a grassy area in the middle of various varieties of trees and bushes. Shadows stretch across the image to reach the figure. The image is completely digitally rendered and is extremely detailed, with individual leaves reflecting sunlight and brown twigs lying amongst the blades of grass.

A still image from Anita Delaney's digital moving image artwork called Well. A white casual jersey is moving through outdoor space, its long-sleeve arms are spanning wide across the image. Loose brown leaves are underneath the jersey on the ground, and sunlight is shining on some of the leaves and catching on the folds of the white jersey. In the very centre of the white jersey sits a red apple, moving with the fabric.
