Shadow Biosphere
The Shadow Biosphere is a hypothetical ecosystem that exists on earth but that we do not currently have the tools to detect; a world where life forms are not carbon-based, but perhaps based on silicon or other materials that we don’t yet understand. This realm theoretically exists and evolves alongside us, like a type of parallel universe. This body of work imagines this ecosystem as a place where emerging species converge in te space between physical and digital artworks.
