Terra-Ocean. Between Local and Global : Inside of Environmental Сollisions
The project explores Marine Biodiversity in the context of climate change. In order to choose a perspective not of cultural pessimism, but a desperate realism – perhaps in the spirit of Guattari’s ecosophy, Latour’s terrestrial coexistence, or Haraway’s question of how to live on a damaged Earth, project works to change the optics of established ways of viewing. How can immersive space and technologies help us to become more open and sensitive towards others and our environments that are affected by the Anthropocene, climate change and ongoing military conflicts? The project addresses immersion and the creation of immersive environments, sonification and translation of complex biochemical events into visual liquid elements as a research tool and an additional sensory argument, to push toward a meaningful change in anthropocentric optics and sustainable management of our vulnerable ecosystems. It brings together five audio-visual works: “The Ocean”, “Garden of Exoskeletons”, “Plankton” “Ecocide” and “Homage to Matisse” creating an immersive environment. Combining scientific data and philosophical approach, artistic work reflects the anthropogenic impact of humans on marine environments. Referring to the Gaia theory, by James Lovelock and Lynn Margulis, based on the theory of the Earth’s development by Ukrainian scientist Volodymyr Vernadsky, which is one of the foundations of ecology, and inspiring the Blue Humanities twist by Steve Mentz, the project is an invitation to shift to an ethical paradigm in favor of all the other living creatures, looking for symbiotic future with the prospects of a shared environment and blue humanities.
