The visual component of the artwork places participants into the perspective of a piece of dust. Seven meteorites fall into our screens, one representing each continent, breaking open to reveal chaos and dust particles. Participants of the meditation are gently urged to mix in with the dust, to become complexity, while remaining centered during the process of “falling apart.”
The visuals are accompanied with deeply transportive sounds to further this embodiment. Sound samples from each continent are layered with the ever-present underlying drone, COVID data live from the University of Washington, archived recordings from NASA, binaural sounds, and flickers of radar from the rooftop of the Natural History Museum in Vienna come together to create an ambient and layered composition. Victoria Vesna guides and is accompanied by the celestial voice of Rhiannon Catalyst and the polyphonic voice of Anna Nacher.
