Artist Statement:

A visual-musical collaboration between experimental media artist Peter Morse and composer Glenn Rogers, Journals of Exploration is a widescreen and multiscreen video installation that invokes the sense of exploration of extreme landscapes of Earth and other bodies in our solar system that might harbour life.

Beginning at the world biodiversity hotspot of the Great Southern, the Ediacaran fauna of the Stirling Ranges and the Nullarbor regions of Western Australia, it traverses extreme landscapes far away from human habitation, roams the Southern Ocean to Antarctica, before embarking on a journey across our solar system to Mars and further afield, revealing the visual analogues of terrestrial geology and environments where life might have evolved and may yet exist.
