Blue Dreams is an immersive video installation that integrates abstract imagery, deep sea video footage and computer modeling (animating a painting by Rutstein) to portray the resilience of our planet’s smallest yet most vital living systems – microbial networks. This immersive piece is meant to inspire awe and wonder at systems, processes and landscapes otherwise hidden from view, that connect us to our past and which we rely on for our own survival.
