Seek
Immerse yourself in a journey that blurs the lines between you and the elements with SEEK—an all-encompassing odyssey from the award-winning new media artist Nancy Baker Cahill. SEEK invites you to actively look and listen more deeply, dissolving the interface between viewer, lens, and filmed content. It features a series of bespoke abstract landscapes—water, sand and wind, fire, and forest—each layered with meticulously camouflaged imagery and sound. You’ll be asked to “seek” in both the literal and philosophical sense: to discern, grapple with, and imagine interconnected and entangled worlds.
