If you happened to be in York in early October, you might have caught the inaugural York Mediale, a new international media art festival which brings world premiere commissions from leading and emerging artists to the city.
We visited the festival during our October FAULT LINES residency, and thought we’d share a few of our highlights…
In York Art Gallery’s Strata – Rock – Dust – Stars exhibition, a group of artists including Isaac Julien, Semiconductor, Agnes Meyers Brandis, Liz Orton (to name only a few) immersed visitors in a journey through Earth’s layers, post-mining and oil-drilling scarred landscapes, glacial caves and volcanic underworlds, through to the formation of stars and a reflection of the universe.
Meanwhile, in Loop.pH’s immersive Pollinarium we followed a pollinator bee, experiencing the natural world through the bee’s eyes and ears in this unique installation.
