The Tides Within Us

Fri 13 May 2022 to Sun 4 Sep 2022
The Reel Store

FREE with your ticket to Machine Memoirs: Space

Leading art collective Marshmallow Laser Feast present a five-screen, real-time interactive installation, The Tides Within Us, as part of the launch programme for The Reel Store, the UK’s first permanent immersive digital art gallery.

Part of Marshmallow Laser Feast’s ongoing exploration into the world beyond the limits of our senses, The Tides Within Us is an immersive artwork, which investigates the flow of oxygen through the cardiovascular system, painting a picture of a human body as a fluid event, more like a whirlpool than a static object. This flow questions the boundary of where this living body begins and where it ends, dissolving any sense of separation and connecting us through breath to the rhythms that underpin life on earth.

The Tides Within Us was co-commissioned by York Museums Trust, Mediale and Coventry City of Culture. Funded by Arts Council England. Made in collaboration with Fraunhofer Mevis.

Admission to The Tides Within Us is free with your ticket to Machine Memoirs: Space
