Can you taste the atmosphere of a prehistoric world?
In short: Artist Emily Parsons-Lord transforms the invisible atmosphere into a tangible medium. This talk explores how recreating the air of different geological eras can help us visualize and feel the changing history of our planet.
Emily Parsons-Lord creates art by reconstructing the chemical composition of air from distinct moments in Earth's history. Her work spans from the clean, fresh air of the Carboniferous period to the soda-water-like atmosphere of the Great Dying. She also explores the heavy, toxic air of the future, using these sensory recreations to make the invisible world of our atmosphere more perceptible.
