The ODD Gallery is pleased to present "Ommatidia Muralis," a new collaborative installation by Winnipeg artists Chantal Dupas and Andrew John Milne.
As artist-in-residence at the University of Manitoba's Belamonte Laboratory, Dupas creates "microscopic paintings" from tinted cross-sections of houseplants. Instead of presenting these through a typical microscope, Milne builds extravagantly designed analog wooden viewing machines. His machines offer augmented views of reality, fracturing and multiplying Dupas' personalized scientific images.
