Slow Pause is a collection of images, videos, hybrid objects and sculptures that explore how humans and non-humans interact with the invisible. During a time period when we are all intimately dealing with a pandemic, issues of what we can and can't perceive -- and the impact visibility has -- have become paramount. It is more important than ever to consider how knowledge and truth are produced and perceived, and what tools are needed to interpret them. 

 Using the resources and archives of several scientific institutions including Yerkes Observatory in Williams Bay, WI and Argonne National Laboratory in Lemont, Illinois as well as makeshift seismographs, and archives of the earliest writings on climate change Slow Pause incorporates unique, material based, site specific recording processes to explore modes of understanding the unseen and how our patterns of movement impact the world we live in.
