Microbes

Microbes – Gallery 2
DLI Museum and Durham Art Gallery
28 September 2014 – 11 January 2015
Climb through a glowing landscape of shapes and light, get busy and watch what unfolds. Inspired the beautiful microscopic imagery of bacteria and cells that live within us this brand new family focused exhibition is full of delightful, unexpected happenings.

Gallery two will be filled with a glowing landscape of suspended inflatable pods of differing shapes and sizes. The pods resemble the beautiful microscopic imagery of bacteria and cells that live within us. Visitors will be able to walk through the pods causing them to sway and bump into each other. Every few minutes the pods will slowly deflate and the lights within them dim in a mesmerising cycle.
