Tenuous Oasis
Surface Gallery, Nottinghamgallery view
Tenuous Oasis poses the question: is it possible for nature and technology to work in harmony? In the same way that a bird’s nest is a technology employed by birds to protect their young, our own technologies can become naturalised once they are perceived as a normal part of everyday life. Enter into an immersive and unfamiliar museum exhibit where artefacts from an alternative multiverse represent timelines of lost civilisations and environments, all attempting to reach an Arcadia of their own design.
