Eleven Strata and the Planetary Boundary

Take a virtual tour of eleven strata of atmosphere and ocean, on either side of the planetary boundary. Stevens presents a batch of mysterious experiments, curious handmade instrumentation, and eerie field recordings, as illustrations of the qualities of places from high in the outer Magnetosphere, through the Thermosphere, the Stratosphere, and down into Mesopelagia, Bathypelagia, and the deeper Abyss.
Featuring sculptures, a pair of paintings, and a pair of photographs, the centerpiece of the exhibition is the sound composition, essentially performed by an ensemble made up of sculptures in the gallery, in coordination, generating a planetary rhythm and harmony. The sonic landscape varies dramatically throughout the space, but at any point can be contemplated as one work.
