| Description: | Hydromancy is a film that considers the ocean as both a sentient agent and scientific object, blending documentary with artistic intervention. It was filmed on location in the laboratories and workshops of the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton, UK. The centre is an institute for developing technologies that investigate the complexity of the world’s oceans, earth systems and biosphere. Co-commissioned by John Hansard Gallery and Onassis Stegi as part of Weather Engines, curated by Daphne Dragona and Jussi Parikka. The film was exhibited at John Hansard Gallery (2021) and at Onassis Stegi (2022). It was also screened as part of Medialab Matadero and Cineteca Madrid experimental film cycle Sentient Media (2022). A review of the film by Jamie Sutcliffe appears in Art Monthly (452). Made under the name of collaborative duo, Matterlurgy (Mark Peter Wright and Helena Hunter). |
