Earth Beamer II
Installation. Moss, water, slide projectors, arduino.
2022
The project “Earth Beamer” stems from investigating the potential emergence of more-than-human cinema. Two slide projectors become microscopes that magnify and project a series of 24 seemingly still images. Instead of film, each slide frame contains a moss herbarium: a living, moist and changing micro-ecosystem. The superimposition of images constantly creates new plant motifs. This "live projection" is looped at 24 seconds per image, in contrast to the standard 24 frames per second of motion pictures.
