plastisphere creatures in the Manipulated exhibition at Articulate Project Space

I'm happy my plastisphere creatures work was included in the "MANIPULATED" group exhibition at Articulate Project Space, 2-24 November. Plastisphere creatures series is a speculative evolution project imagining future creatures that have evolved to live on/in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. The creatures were evolved using generativeAI techniques as still images then as a video. I also created cyanotype prints of the creatures, using hand printed cyanotype early photography techniques, so these prints are like old photos of future creatures.

Plastisphere creatures I-III. 2024. Cyanotype print on paper, mounted on foam board and trimmed with raffia paper, soft plastic, dressmaker sewing pins. Print: 21 x 29.7 cm

Plastisphere creatures (video). 2025. H.264 MP4 Video. 1920x1080. 02:58.

MANIPULATED brings together some of the diverse artistic practices that are engaged with the critical investigation of photography, its processes, materials, components and concepts.

This exhibition presents artists who push the limits and expectations within and beyond the medium: exploring borderlines between disciplines, experimenting with technologies, light, surfaces, the elements and celebrating the wide spectrum of ‘manipulated photography’.
