How do organisms survive in the deep sea, in outer space and inside volcanoes? Why do inhospitable settings spark our imagination and our appetite for adventure? What can extreme environments tell us about coping with climate change?\u00a0How can art and design inspire and influence the pioneers exploring extreme environments? Should we adapt organisms and technologies to thrive under severe conditions?<\/p>\n

LIFE AT THE EDGES will examine life in extraordinary environments, and humankind’s passion for exploration, adventure and discovery.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Extreme places can provide a unique setting to expand our understanding of our climate and living systems. From arctic expeditions to deep sea discoveries, this exhibition is about exploring frontiers and limits, and boldly pushing the boundaries of space, humanity, science, technology, biology, and determination.<\/p>\n

What might we find living in unexplored places that can inspire new technologies, medicines or architecture? As our own planet grapples with more extreme and precarious environmental conditions, how could the constraints of extreme environments lead to creative new tools, methods, microorganisms, and technologies? And will humans one day inhabit outer space or live underwater, or have we already contaminated these hard-to-reach places with space junk, plastic gyres and invasive species?<\/p>\n

From terraforming entire planets to mapping the deepest ocean trenches, this exhibition will showcase the scientists, artists, designers and dreamers with eyes on the horizon \u2014 the ones looking for LIFE AT THE EDGES.<\/p>\n
