Galaxies was created as an installation in 2017 at the Or Gallery, curated by Weiyi Chang.
The video features Microbes, plankton, small crustateans and Gasterosteus aculeatus fish (3 spined Sticklebacks) feeding on them.
The original footage was captured in 2013 from the Live camera feed uploading from Surface. Surface (2010-2013) was commissioned by the City of Vancouver, under the project section Marking and Mapping, through its Olympic and Paralympic Public Art Program for 2010, where artists were invited to propose projects based on sites of their own choosing.
Many thanks for the generous support of the Or Gallery, Weiyi Chang

This artwork was created in K'emk'emeláy̓ (colonially known as Vancouver BC.), situated on the stolen, unceded, ancestral and current territories
of the xʷməθkʷəyəm (Musqueam), Sḵw̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish), and sə̓lil̓wətaʔɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. With respect and acknowledgement
of their aeons-long nationhood, cultures, knowledge, languages and all relations, we support these Nations' ongoing actions and initiatives. I also support the Wet'suwet'en Nations' ongoing actions and initiatives in their unceded territories.
