Featured in INVISIBILITY exhibition at MOD- Museum of Discovery, Adelaide, Australia

From the exhibition website:

“INVISIBILITY is everywhere. It’s the people we don’t notice, the environmental changes we can’t see, and the algorithms working hard behind the scenes. What becomes visible when we start paying attention?

In MOD.’s new exhibition, we’re shining a spotlight on the unseen to help us better understand the world around us and our place in it.”

“How do we understand stories of deep time?

The environment around us provides us with all sorts of clues to experience the past. By descending underground or taking time to look and listen, we can understand more about the land we live on.”

Artist Statement:

By looking at the layers beneath our feet, rocks, shells and sand, we can learn about the history of earth, origins of life, climate changes and the impact we have in the shaping of our planet. 

They tell us a story of the dynamic processes that have been taking place over the vast scales of time, a constant process of creation and destruction, evolution and change. 

The animations in the gallery form a sensory journey through time and capture the beauty of the worlds that are impossible to see with the naked eye. The viewers are encouraged to simply immerse themselves in the imagery and reflect on the geological time and processes that have been taking place in micro and macro scales.
