Welcome to the age of cosmic radiation!

In 2021, the Sun reached its lowest point of activity ever recorded since the birth of science. Its magnetic waves, traditionally crucial as a protective shield for the Earth, weakened dramatically. During this phase of solar quiescence, powerful intergalactic cosmic rays passed through our atmosphere.

British artist Graeme Arnfield’s installation amplifies his previous work, The Phantom Menace (2019), a techno-stroboscopic film exploring possible future climate scenarios.
