Three installations that explore ‘Human Nature’ come together to feature as the centrepiece of York Mediale 2020.

The exhibition is jointly curated by York Mediale and York Museums Trust and will be displayed at York Art Gallery from Wednesday, 21 October to Sunday, 24 January 2021.

Visitors are invited to discover through these installations how the human body is hardwired, synchronised and inextricably linked to nature.

York Mediale is an international biennial digital arts festival that celebrates York as the UK’s first and only UNESCO Creative City of Media Arts.

The independent arts charity was founded in 2014 and launched its first festival in 2018. York Mediale 2020 is a mixture of experiential digital art conceived for and influenced by 2020.

The three installations that make up ‘Human Nature’ are:

  • Limina by Rachel Goodyear, a series of animations and drawings that offer a glimpse into the psyche and fragments of the unconscious.
  • The Tides Within Us by Marshmallow Laser Feast, which explores the journey of oxygen in the body in a series that echoes natural ecosystems.
  • Embers and the Giants by Kelly Richardson, a short film examining human intervention on nature.

Take a look below for a preview of the installations.
