Ether

If ever there was a time to listen to the hum of electromagnetism, a momentary station-break on the ceaseless chatter of commercial broadcast, the time is now. Surely, we need to stop and listen to the environment in novel and unusual ways at this moment in time. In our work, we are opening a portal, one that redefines our ideas of the environment as paradoxically, more fluid than solid, with a myriad of vital things occurring beyond the surface.

We need these experiences of contact with the invisible, they are necessary tools in helping to construct alternative ways of being in the world in which accepted systems are subverted, upended and provoked. In our current political reality, there is great scepticism around the existential influence of invisible forces, including the warming climate, and in this context our work offers new and potentially transformative embodied understandings of things we cannot see.

By making invisible forces available to our senses, our work provides a way of coming to terms with how the real and the imagination can coexist, moving on a continuum, rather than as unproductive opposing forces.
