Multimedia with barrel rings and theater gels
Gail Bos, and Marnie Sinclair, have collaborated to create the six extinctions on our planet Earth, and the vast Universe beyond. The first extinction started 635 million years ago leading up to the sixth Holocene extinction which began 10,000 years ago. It is ongoing because of human activity which is contributing to the warming of the planet. The Universe is made up of gases, matter, stars, planets, nebulas, black holes, and dark matter-energy. All that we can see represents less than 10% of the universe with the remaining 90% made up of dark matter-energy which is invisible. The insignificance one feels from such vastness punctuates the need to accept our ever-changing world.
The six extinctions are multimedia and the Universe images inspired by NASA telescope images are made from theater gels. Each separate image is suspended in a barrel ring.
Gail Bos is a political artist and educator, and Marnie Sinclair is an environmental artist and activist.
