MetaNature: The Sea, The Slime and Other Stories

The future is in learning how to collaborate with living systems and acknowledging that life does not begin and end with human interventions. A multimedia exhibition by NeoMeta (Julia Shu) and Jane Scobie.

This collaborative space forms around a proto-linguistic dialogue between human and non-human agents. The work offers possibilities of growing and living in different timescales and creating new forms of interspecies multisensory communication.

Join us at BOTH Gallery for a unique showcase investigating the boundaries between nature, humanity and technology and working experimentally towards a symbiotic future.

The exhibition is open Wed 18th to Sat 21st, 12-8 pm on Sun 22nd, 12-4 pm we are wrapping up our show with a performance and a walk around Highgate Woods at 4 pm on Sunday.

Meta Nature is conceived as an opportunity to extend conversations about how to collaborate with living systems and grow multi-species communities. Each day we will invite a group of artists to share their practice and ideas on ways to learn and communicate with intelligent, adaptive and resilient others. These conversations will be recorded and posted on www.others.place
