In 2015 Quist produced a piece called The Black Vertebrate. It has two versions, a 33-minute instillation piece and a feature-length iteration. Split into nine chapters, Quist described it, "as if one is trapped inside an artificial intelligence that is breaking down into some unknown realm of psychosis."[7] [8]
