Originally created for a Houston city public art project, Steinke and Cook merge the micro with the cosmic in their new film U-SCOPIC. Drawing inspiration from microscopic creatures and audio and imagery from the NASA archives, the artists animate new forms using various experimental techniques. In this piece, circular orbs morph in and out of focus, resembling specimens in a petri dish, a starry galaxy, or bubbly particles floating in space. From the tiniest creatures that help keep our ecosystem healthy to the farthest star that illuminates our sky, the project reflects on the beauty and interconnectedness within our universe.
