NOUMENON shows microscopies from the Bio Lab of the Ars Electronica Center, featuring microorganisms like tardigrades and amoebas, revealing a hidden world alongside images from the NASA archive. It showcases environmentally harmful „glitter“ which creates striking optical effects, while nothing living remains in the sample after it is added to the water. The effects of our actions are as incomprehensible as the universe’s vastness. NOUMENON questions our perceived meanings but offers no answers.
