EVOLVER is a collective virtual reality experience which drops audiences deep inside the landscape of the body, following the flow of oxygen through our branching ecosystem, to a single ‘breathing’ cell. Through this transcendental narrative, it becomes clear that breath not only sparks life, but also connects us to the natural world through the cycle of respiration.
Executive produced by Edward R. Pressman and Terrence Malick, featuring voice over by Cate Blanchett and music by Jonny Greenwood, Meredith Monk, Jóhann Jóhannsson, Howard Skempton and Jon Hopkins.
“EVOLVER observes the movement of oxygen through the respiratory and cardiovascular systems, the experience is formed from a collage of different scientific datasets and blood flow simulations and informed by close collaborations with leading scientists. From an inbreath all the way to cellular diffusion, Evolver aims to challenge the myth of separation by inviting audiences to voyage beneath the sensorial boundary of skin, hoping to awaken the realisation that we are nature, and what we do to nature we do to ourselves.”
