    Environment & Sustainability

    Gondwana

    By Pernickety Split

    Gondwana is a world-first 24-hour VR experience mapping the projected impact of the climate crisis on the Daintree – the world’s oldest tropical rainforest.

    Immersants can enter at any point in the course of a day’s exhibition, and are free to roam and discover the operatic flux of this 180-million-year-old ecosystem. Days fall into night, seasons change, years pass before your eyes, and phenomenal wet season storms punctuate and awaken the landscape. But as the environment moves forward in time, the impacts of climate change are slowly revealed.

    Gondwana is designed as an event showing (whether in physical space, online or both) – users can drop in and out at will, or check back in to see the changes over time. Over the course of the exhibition, the torch passes across time zones, bringing together a global community through immersion in the wonder of the natural world.

    In the vein of durational works such as Christian Marclay’s The Clock, John Cage’s Organ2/ASLSP, Olafur Eliasson’s Ice Watch, and Brain Eno’s 10,000 Year Clock, Gondwana is a unique experience that fosters long-term thinking about the environment and our place within it. Shift your human perspective and learn to see on the timescale of the forest.

    Supported by Screen Australia, Greenpeace, the Wet Tropics Management Authority and Rainforest Rescue.
