"WOW", "The most incredible thing I have ever seen", "Amazing"
Just three of the many, many reactions to this exhibition. Do not miss this opportunity to witness something the likes of which you will have never seen in Norfolk before.
Once couple made a specific 120 mile round trip to see it yesterday, and said they were blown away by it.
Open 11am to 4pm Sunday to Thursday and 11am to 6pm Fridays and Saturday’s every day until 21st April. Free entry (no dogs though). The event is in the Cromer Artspace Building in Cromer. This is situated in the last building on the prom if you are heading towards East Runton direction
FRAMERATE: Pulse of the Earth bears witness to landscapes in flux. The work reveals alterations caused by human-centred industry and the immense forces of nature; destruction, extraction, habitation, construction, harvests, growth, and erosion.
Three-dimensional stories unfold across an array of screens. Meditative imagery surrounds you. Audio shifts through the space. Spring breaks, summer sun shines through the leaves as they turn amber and fall a second later. In a quaint English garden a pumpkin grows. A thousand tonnes of steel are crushed. Sand ebbs and flows while a cliff retreats. 268 cows are milked. 519 pints are drunk.
Created from thousands of daily 3D time-lapse scans of British landscapes, the work observes change on a scale impossible to see with the lens of traditional cameras.
This is not just an artwork. The data collected and presented by FRAMERATE is ground-breaking scientific research, containing empirical, measurable facts.
We glimpse a future perpetually documented by the eyes of a billion autonomous vehicles and personal devices, creating high fidelity spatial records of the earth.
FRAMERATE: Pulse of the Earth invites you to observe in another way. To think and feel in another time scale: geological time, seasonal time, tidal time. To contemplate change, and the pace of change. This is a space where your perspective might shift.
