Exhibition

To inaugurate LASALLE’s new MA Arts and Ecology programme, this exhibition proposes alternative modes of sensing our immediate and remote environment through practices that synthesise art, science and technology and make new sense of the imperceptible, renewing our interspecies and microcosmic attention and attunement.

The works in this gallery offer portals to earthly phenomena that typically escape everyday empirical experience: from big data to DNA and satellites to nanofiche, each artist expands human sensory capacities through creative re-presentations and, by extension, rearranges what is sensible in the world to widen and deepen our ecological understanding.

Climate justice and intercultural sustainability call for a consciousness of political aesthetics and a commitment to redistribute the sensible. Let’s meet this global challenge together.
