Manicouagan : 210 million years of astronomical, environmental and historic upheaval

Manicouagan (2023)

Paul Duncombe

Video installation, fragment of impactite, LCD screens, microcontrollers.

Evoking the characteristic ring of the Manicouagan Astrobleme, the installation features a series of screens arranged around a fragment of impactite, a rock formed 214 million years ago during the meteorite impact that gave rise to the Eye of Quebec. The installation presents the various investigations carried out during the Manicouagan expedition in 2021: from science to poetry, from underwater reliefs to Mount Babel, various audiovisual sequences invite viewers to discover the site that witnessed the fourth great extinction through artistic sensitivity and scientific rigor. At the crossroads of art and science, combining illustrations, 3D animations, sound and poetry, the work resembles a digital cabinet of curiosities, unveiling the Manicouagan crater from an unprecedented perspective.
