How can we imagine partnerships with unusual organisms on our changing planet?

Scope: Theater of Collaborative Survival explores the relationship organisms have with their environment through the notions of toxicity, remediation, and evolution, over various scales of time and space.

Co-created with biologist Elizabeth Hénaff and multimedia artist Heather Parrish, it features interpretive tokens of human and microbial activity and their interactions: jars of Gowanus Canal sediment (Brooklyn, NY) and live laser microscopy of its inhabitants, photoreactive prints of multi-scale living environments, and generative multi-channel sonification of algorithmically-generated populations evolving at different time scales.
