After the Big Bang

Welcome To The Anthropocene Over the past 4.543 billion years (or so) our home planet has been through many changes. But even inside that blip of cosmic time our collective actions have grown to directly impact our ecosystems. Whether in the form of our ever-proliferating and mobile gadgets, our vast network of global travel, or the massive server complexes that power our hyper-connectedness – what we all buy, eat, watch and listen to has an effect on our environment. So much so that many scientists and theorists have proposed a new epoch – the Anthropocene.

And it’s with this future-facing spirit and resolve we collaborated with Aya Sato on imagining this new existence, balancing the dark with light.
