Why sea jellies? Why now?
This interactive exhibition invites participants to experience the world of sea jellies in an immersive experience.
Anything is possible – children, dancers, musicians, Indigenous ceremonial dancers – all can move into flowing with the oldest still existing species on earth.
Jellies could help us to move out of human exceptionality into learning from another species that, with its distributed nervous system, continues to modify and adapt to changing conditions.
As we are fully into the Anthropocene, time is now.
Sea Jellies; NG is ready to ship complete with all required technology and crated steel figures. Installation is flexible in set-up. Complete installation plans available on request.
