Persistent Adaptation: An Installation by Alison Hiltner

Alison Hiltner’s current work focuses on the secret life of micro organisms, drawing from the hysteria of mass media science Hiltner creates humorous and disturbing situations in which our bacterial cohabiters cultivate a visible imprint on our everyday lives. Persistent Adaptation will take the viewer into a world in which the invisible yet constant aspects of our existence are exposed and beginning to invade.
