FRAMERATE: Pulse Of The Earth - Wales Millennium Centre / Canolfan Mileniwm Cymru

FRAMERATE: Pulse of the Earth’s hypnotic imagery bears witness to landscapes in flux. The impact of human behaviour and the immense force of nature unfolds around you across an array of screens. This is a space where your perspective may shift.

FRAMERATE: Pulse of the Earth is the first in the FRAMERATE series. The work reveals alterations caused by human-centred industry and the rhythms of the natural world; destruction, extraction, habitation, construction, harvests, growth, and erosion. Three-dimensional stories unfold across this multichannel installation. Hypnotic imagery surrounds you. Audio shifts through the space. Spring breaks, summer sun shines through the leaves as they turn amber and fall a second later. In a quaint English garden a pumpkin grows. A thousand tonnes of steel are crushed. Sand ebbs and flows while a cliff retreats. 268 cows are milked. 519 pints are drunk.

Created from thousands of daily 3D time-lapse scans of British landscapes, the work observes change on a scale impossible to see with the lens of traditional cameras.

This is not just an artwork. The data collected and presented by FRAMERATE is ground-breaking scientific research, containing empirical, measurable facts published that have since been published in NATURE.

"FRAMERATE: Pulse of the Earth manifests as art, meditation and science in concert. Our team 3D time-lapse recorded urban, rural and industrial sites changing over time. The resulting hypnotic imagery observes environmental change on a spatial and temporal scale. With these ground- breaking visuals, we have created a unique installation guided by principles of architecture, theatre, music and mindfulness. This work invites people to consider their relationships to time, the environment, their community, and to change-offering a new way of looking at the world and relating to the planet." - Director's Statement.
