Spheres of Time is an immersive installation that traverses across traces of different landscapes over stretches of geological and generational time. Contemplating on earth’s deep time amid our social, political, economic and environmental processes, the work situates human civilizations as part of an expansive natural history. In doing so, it reminds us that the imprints of our past shape the future and that we are responsible for the care of creation and sustainable ecology, beyond human timespan.
This site-specific installation is created by Chung in collaboration with Isaac Hernández Campos, Mario Norton, Alex Beaumier, and Adam Kaleta; commissioned by the AD&A Museum and facilitated by Dr. Tim Wood of the AlloSphere Research Facility at UCSB. The AlloSphere is a one-of-a-kind, three-story metal sphere, an immersive instrument intersecting science, engineering, and the arts created by Distinguished Professor, Scientist and Composer JoAnn Kuchera-Morin.
