“Mankind was born on Earth—It was never meant to die here.”
–Christopher Nolan, Interstellar, 2014.
Meta.Morf 2016—Nice to be in orbit!—connects us with an expanding reality, not just as the spaceship crew on one brilliant planet, but as many civilisations. Perhaps, facing the prospect that we are no longer earthbound, but are now free to roam and can set a different course than Ed White, the first astronaut to spacewalk during the Gemini 4 mission on June 3, 1965, who observed, “I’m coming back in… and it’s the saddest moment of my life.”
–Dr. Rachel Armstrong
The fourth Trondheim biennale—Meta.Morf 2016—will showcase artists, writers and scientists that in various ways take a closer look at man as interstellar traveller, and how we at the beginning of this millennium are about to redefine our relationship with the stars and, consequently, ourselves.
