Digital Maker Collective collaborated with Delfina UK Associate duo Matterlurgy (Helena Hunter and Mark Peter Wright) in an evening of critical discussion, performative presentations and live VR demos.
During their residency Matterlurgy are working with the materiality of air, focusing on the composition of pollution particles, their causes, effects and morphological agency.
The event included conversations on how art and aesthetics interacts with toxic materials; what kind of stories might be deployed through technologies such as virtual reality; and how geopolitics are located in atmospheric thinking and being.
