Becoming (in the light of the miracle) Curatorial Tour with Farah Yusuf

Becoming (in the light of the miracle) is an exhibition about emergent phenomena, spanning deep time to AI. The artworks draw inspiration from natural systems, neural networks, and social structures revealing how complexity occurs from simple rule-based interactions to create a whole that is more than the sum of its parts. Becoming invites viewers to consider other-than-human natures, how they might cohere as entities and come into being. Featured artists are Alexander McLeod, Catherine Blackburn, Camille Jodoin-Eng, Diane Landry, Ingrid Bachmann, Meryl McMaster, Robert Hengeveld, Sarah Friend and Zev Farber.
