Set in the vastness of cosmic space, Richardson’s digital debris field emits an eerie symphony, symbolizing Earth’s unique place in the universe and humanity’s isolation. The work provokes a powerful question: given humanity’s monumental efforts to find life beyond Earth, how differently would we value species threatened by extinction today if they were discovered on another planet?

Art alone can’t save the world but the creation of art may very well be considered as the yin to our destructive yang.”
