Nebula explores how all things connect and interact which each other. 

The artists’ ideas grew whilst observing how the formation of the landscape has evolved through its industry, which in turn influences its ecology and people. 
This observation led them to draw parallels with the connections and interactions within the scientific biological and technological worlds, examining the looping communications and control system which exist in both machines and living things.

A particular element of this became weather patterns and how these often play a role in the daily lives of different communities globally. 

The installation fills the space with millions of ‘particles’, and fans and motion sensors keep the artwork ever-changing. 
Visitors can experience a sensation of how these small and large scale connections continuously change and evolve, and how we as individuals impact them, often in unconscious ways. 

Bringing together science and technology through art, Nebula immerses the visitor in this quietly landscape, where their own interactions influence how the piece evolves.

Nebula dialogues with the space, but is conceived in a modular process (each fan/sensor is autonomous), 
so the piece can be adapted to a place according to a specific layout.
