Pushing the frontiers of film, technology and medical science, EVOLVER is a mind-expanding virtual reality experience that drops audiences into an unseen landscape, deep inside the human body. It follows the flow of oxygen from first intake of breath, around our complex, inner branching ecosystem, through to its origin, a single ‘breathing’ cell. It represents the life-affirming journey of just one among trillions of cells in every living being, all of which function thanks to the reciprocal act of respiration.
EVOLVER’s unique journey unfolds with narration from Cate Blanchett, and a score featuring an unreleased version of Tayos Cave from musician and producer Jon Hopkins, as well as music by Jonny Greenwood, Meredith Monk, Jóhann Jóhannsson, Yair Elazar Glotman, Hildur Guðnadóttir, Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe and Howard Skempton, whose myriad musical compositions add a further dimension to describing the internal processes accompanying our every living moment.
