FRAMERATE: Work in Progress

The work invites audiences to bear witness to landscapes in flux. We observe alterations caused by human-centred industry and the immense forces of nature; destruction, extraction, habitation, construction, harvests, growth, and erosion.

We were honoured to show early visuals from FRAMERATE at the UN Climate Conference COP26 in Glasgow. A Special Preview of the work is being exhibited within the prestigious Art Program at SXSW 2022.

Created from thousands of daily 3D time-lapse scans of British landscapes, the work observes change on a scale impossible to see with the lens of traditional cameras.

Three-dimensional stories unfold within the hypnotic imagery. Audio shifts through the space. Spring breaks, summer sun shines dappled through the leaves as they turn amber and fall a second later. In a quaint English garden a pumpkin grows. A thousand tonnes of steel is crushed. Sand ebbs and flows while a cliff retreats. 268 cows are milked. 519 pints are drunk.

FRAMERATE invites you to observe in another way. To think and feel in another time scale: geological time, seasonal time, tidal time. To contemplate change, and the pace of change. This is a space where your perspective might shift.

FRAMERATE is an exclusive preview of PULSE OF THE EARTH, a larger body of installation-based work in development and due to be launched across 2022/2023. We are looking for partners to help us bring the work to venues around the world.
