Evo

"E V O is a visually daring documentary look at evolutionary theory that comes off like a university course in paleo-biology as taught by Marshall McLuhan." Monday Magazine

"Is the human species on the verge of a huge evolutionary leap, as many tech-heads would have us believe? Or are we the new dinosaurs, on the verge of mass extinction? Oliver Hockenhull takes up these and other crucial questions in this early digital essay reflecting on the history and future of evolutionary theory, from Darwin to famed naturalist Stephen J. Gould. Exploring a range of key concepts in evolution from contingency, predetermination, inevitability and mutation through to freedom, peace, cultural evolution and extinction as conceived by evolutionary thinkers such as Ernst Haeckel, Richard Dawkins and Desmond Collins, Hockenhull builds a provocative non-linear narrative and packs it with computer-generated visual analogues which radically extend our understanding. A mind-altering reconception of our place in time and space." David McIntosh
