EVERYTHING SHIMMERS ALONG ITS FAULT LINES

We are alive within a big soup of ongoing processes weaving into one another. Some of these processes, like the budding leaves in spring, are visible, local and are quite easily understandable by the human mind. Some other processes are more challenging to our mind, like imagining the currents flowing in a large body of water. Whilst imaging the currents is already a bit more tasking on the imagination, it is still quite possible to imagine the currents and at the very least you can take a look at the water and put your hand in to see if you can feel the currents moving. This makes these smaller processes imaginable and in this way accessible. All these smaller processes are part of the bigger picture: the unimaginably large, non-local and ancient or destined to be ancient processes, like tectonic plate movement, the solar system or all the plastic ever produced.


Because of the deeply opaque nature of these processes, “Everything Shimmers Along Its Fault Lines” aimed to develop a methodology of mapping the fault lines, ghost waves and phases through image and sound in order to connect the dots and learn how to navigate and invoke empathy for hyper-objects in increasingly complex times.
