Join us here at the EHCC gallery on October 19th at 10 a.m. for a free artist talk and walkthrough with Scott Groeniger on "Now Here We Are". Exhibition on view until November 27th, 2024.

 

Now Here We Are is an installation of prints, video, and sound that fabricates a layered visual and sonic space, referencing notions of social and environmental collapse, animal perception and coloration, space travel, artificial intelligence, and decolonization. Spurred by ongoing environmental disasters in Hawaii and across the globe, this installation evokes a fictional yet possible future: a devastated post-human landscape.

 

Groeniger says, “In this beautiful destroyed virtual world of miscalculating algorithms and corrupted data, images and sounds of the former organic inhabitants of Earth are stuck in a loop, dissolving and resolving against the backdrop of an ever-changing hybrid landscape.”

 

This exhibition was made possible by funding from the County of Hawai’i; McInerny Foundation - Bank of Hawai’i, Trustee; and the State Foundation on Culture and the Arts.
