From August 19 – September 4 we will exhibit public projections in the city center of Cairns, Australia as part of Cairns Festival 2011. Under the direction of Morphologic collaborator Michael F. McPeake, Underwater Worlds celebrates Cairns’ intimate relationship with the coral reef. Showing alongside our films is Australia’s seminal underwater documentary Invisible Wonders of the Great Barrier Reef, shot in 1961 by Noel and Kitty Monkman off the coast of Cairns.

This Saturday night (June 11) we will exhibit our film ‘Helios‘ at Digital Graffiti in Alys Beach, Florida. Digital Graffiti is a unique event in which the small town of Alys Beach (a town painted entirely white to best serve this annual night of projections) invites video artists from around the world to display their work on the town’s facades.

This weekend we will exhibit a selection of our Natural History films and projections at the Miami Science Museum in celebration of the inaugural Miami Underwater Festival. The festival is a formal offshoot of the annual Festival Mondiale de l’Image Sous-Marine (World Festival of Underwater Images), in Marseilles, France. Over the weekend, the fest will screen a selection of prize-winning films from the 37th Festival Mondiale de l’Image Sous-Marines.

We are psyched to share that a selection of our Natural History films will screen on ATP TV during this upcoming weekend’s All Tomorrow’s Parties festival as curated by Animal Collective, in Minehead, UK. This will be the first international exhibition of our physical work; read more about the festival here.

‘Cassiopeia’ | 407 Building | Lincoln Road | Miami Beach – Dec. 2-5, 2010

From December 2-5, we presented Artificial Reef, a series of large-scale video projections of corals, on three prominent buildings on Miami Beach. The concept of Artificial Reef was built around the premise that most of Miami’s infrastructure is comprised of fossilized coral reef limestone. The purpose of the project, (funded with a generous grant from the Knight Foundation) was to highlight this overlooked relationship of the city of Miami with its coral reefs. Our goal was to recolonize the city with a ‘living veneer’ of corals encrusted onto the artificial reef that is Miami Beach.

We are infinitely excited to announce our first public art project: Artificial Reef, a nightly projection series showcasing local coral reef-life in massive scale on prominent buildings across Miami Beach from December second to the fifth. The concrete used in constructing these buildings is largely composed of the pulverized fossils of coral and marine life that once colonized South Florida when submerged in millennia past. The Artificial Reef projections will “encrust” and “colonize” the Wolfsonian Museum, the 407 Building, and the Art Deco Welcome Center facades like rocks of the reef. Artificial Reef has been made possible by a generous grant from the Knight Foundation.

During the week/end we will have an accompanying solo show of of our multi-media works at the Art Deco Welcome Center. Video loops, photography and projections will be shown. The opening reception for Artificial Reef will take place at the Art Deco Welcome Center on Friday, December 3rd from 8PM – 12AM. We are additionally psyched to host special live “soundscape” performances by ANR and Sumsun during the reception, with an accompanying collage of our Natural History films curated and affected by video artist Jamie Harley. The video collaboration will be projected onto the bands as they perform. We will have complimentary Prestige beer at the reception.

On Sunday, July 18th from 4 – 8 pm, we will unveil Flower Animal, a collection of fluorescence photographs documenting zoanthids (a soft coral) of Florida’s coral reefs. The show will be open to the public at the Biscayne Nature Center Gallery at the North Beach of Crandon Park on Key Biscayne until September 26th, 10am – 4pm daily. Park entrance fee $6. There will be food and drinks at the opening.
