Flat Earth
WSOHOIDPS presents the closing of Flat Earth, a one-night event featuring interactive art installations. Organized by WSOHOIDPS in collaboration with 29 artists, Flat Earth questions new scientific hypotheses, revisits obsolete theories, and looks to the possibility of pseudoscience becoming the standard model. The show explores such diverse subjects as conspiracy, hysteria, flattening of the global market, gentrification, critical mass, and the Whig history of science. The audience is free to get lost in the immersive site-specific works that are scattered throughout SHIP’s 2-acre property. From Rhodopsin, a light installation to a large scale sound exhibit, Flat Earth encourages visitors to reconsider scientific “truths” and reflect on their own world view. Shaun O’ Dell’ will exhibited his new work which illuminates 25 responses to the question “Describe an event when you experienced a prolonged sense of the present.”
