Interstitial TheatreCurated by Julia Greenway
Culturally,
we live in a technologically driven time, our landscape is continually
shifting. We move between the digital and the natural almost seamlessly.
Yet the future of our natural world is uncertain, unpredictable.
Artists Andy Behrle, Dakota Gearhart, Casey Scalf and Thomas Everett Green
pull imagery and aesthetic directly from the natural landscape and
re-contextualize that imagery onto digital planes to create four
distinct evolved experiences of moving between the the natural and the
digital.

Andy BehrleCosmos Aquatic
Circumnavigate water ways.
Each of the four six-foot weather balloons has an individualized
projection of moving water. This kinetic phenomenon is representative of
the usually overlooked sources of natural energy that surround us.

Dakota GearhartThe Pathway of Stranger Living
Immerse yourself in a decaying rainbow.
A series of nine grotesque and decomposing arches, each
representational of individualized form, color, and light act as a
surface for projection. Light bleeds over the textures of this built
tunnel, creating a space of play that evolves as the viewer moves
through the installation.

Thomas Everett GreenThe Nature of Things
Wrap yourself in the growth of a micro environment.
Inspired by petri dishes of organisms breeding and growing as a
signifier of the power of nature, artist Thomas Everett Green's utilizes
the central circular theatre. The Nature of Things is projected onto the ceiling and wraps around the isolating enveloping walls to create an environment of change.
