Moon Jelly Flow

Moon Jelly Flow pulls source material from real “wellness content” released online by zoos and aquariums to create a satirical guided meditation for a simulated jellyfish tank.

The work explores technology’s ability to extend access to nature while also sterilizing and shaping the human understanding of the natural environment through the screen. Moon Jelly Flow questions the ethics and implications of using nature-as-screensaver as it points out moments of hypocrisy and contradiction in this trend of live-streaming captive animals for meditative visualizations.
