Of The Oak is Marshmallow Laser Feast’s inquiry into the hidden world of oak trees. Commissioned by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, and created in collaboration with ecologists, biologists, and researchers, the project reveals the oak not merely as a tree, but as a living nexus of connection and reciprocity.
Standing as a pillar of biodiversity, the oak shelters thousands of species within its embrace, from the smallest fungi to winged creatures nesting among its body. Each life form moves in a shared rhythm, a mutual flourishing sustained by the oak’s enduring presence.
Participants are invited to explore the rhythmic interplay of breath, connecting deeply with the oak’s ecosystem and its essential role in sustaining biodiversity.
The journey begins with the Big Bang – it wasn’t just a one-time thing – it’s still banging, right at the heart of Bradford and coursing through us and our surroundings. YOU:MATTER is a spectacular immersive exhibition commissioned by the National Science and Media commissioned for Bradford 2025 UK City of Culture.
Visitors can take an unforgettable trip discovering their connection to the universe, exploring the web of relationships that bond people and the natural world together.
Visitors move through a cosmos of projected light, soundscapes, sculptural forms and interactive moments, witnessing how the building blocks of the universe live within us. From breathing life into a digital forest to seeing sunlight animate their skin, each installation invites audiences to reflect on their place in the vast web of existence.
This virtual exhibition seeks to explore the performativity of material wealth conveyed through makeup and costume, shedding light on how Kabuki theatre ukiyo-e prints themselves played a pivotal role in the commodification of these plays by virtue of their continuously reproduced materiality.
No longer restrained to the traditional boundaries of physical exhibition spaces, the power of games and online platforms is harnessed, challenging the very essence of the art world.
To explore the virtual exhibition space, download Occupy White Walls from STEAM, and visit the dedicated exhibition area.
Developed in collaboration with Central Saint Martins, the exhibition challenges normative ideas of beauty and representation, asserting the autonomy of neurodivergent creatives within fashion and culture.
Through the rhetoric of “play,” the work encourages new frameworks for identity construction and artistic agency. These creatives are not spokespersons for a condition but artists in their own right, shaping a broader, more inclusive visual language.
