The Reciprocity of Flesh: Sacred Assemblage in Miami by Kristina Kay Robinson

The Depth of a Vision: A Closer Look at Drift by R. Eric McMaster

Our project, Variety Reinspires, began as an exploration of how VR (virtual reality) technology might be able to alleviate isolation among aging seniors, one of the sectors of our society who suffers the largest loss of liberties as they age. More than 50% of seniors will experience depression and isolation in their living conditions presently in the US. Our project became more relevant with the onset of the Covid-19 global pandemic because suddenly, seniors were isolated even more than they already are.

The Sea was walking the earth with a heavy heel is the fifth in a series of guest curated video exhibitions in Locust Projects’ Screening Room that launched in fall 2019. Guest curated by Ombretta Agró Andruff, ARTSail Residency and Research Initiative, the exhibition features videos by Ursula Biemann, Atul Bhalla, Tania Candiani, Shezad Dawood, and Miguel Sbastida. Water, in all its beauty, might, and potential menace, is what connects the five videos presented in the exhibition.
