This installation was created for the Unfiguring - Experiments in the Practice of Science and Art conference at Harvard University in March, 2024.
Combining themes from the conference, and responding to the architecture of Harvard's Kirkland Gallery, I created a video installation that filled the front of the gallery.
I wanted to decontextualize the real-world elements that I filmed, play with a micro/macro scale shift, and create a space with possibly-unrecognizable visual elements for visitors to inhabit.
People read the imagery as bioluminescence sea life, snow in the wind, traveling through stars, algorithmically generated imagery, etc. I only told people what it was after they had fostered a hypothesis...
...stay tuned.
