"It’s been noted by arborists and scientists that trees communicate with each other. We heard that elephants are so emotionally intelligent and empathetic that people transport them surrounded by baby chicks knowing the elephants will not move for fear of injuring anything. Black holes are part of our reality, as is whatever CERN is doing in Switzerland. Our recognition is being tested; What is real? How do the virtual advancements of AI test that conception? One of the things above is not true, but we live in a world where that doesn’t really matter anymore?
The opposition of the natural and the digital. Sometimes they are the same thing, on equal footing it seems. All of it feels like it’s hidden in plain sight but it's often not so clear, nor obvious, nor tangible. Like an unseen constellation of happenings, the splash of legs in Bruegel’s Landscape with the Fall of Icarus; the distant proximity of a major player in minor key. This exhibition is about altered perception, about seeing things for what they are and also what they are not. Seeing things anew. It’s about nature and our natural world and some of the ways that we try to replicate, conquer, understand, navigate, and dream it. The artists in this exhibition build environments that make you, even force you to notice what may have been overlooked."
