NASA LIE THE EARTH IS FLAT NO CURVE is a 30 minute, moving-image collage, made entirely from footage widely available from online video-media platforms.

It is a playful and poetic video which invites you to consider the broad social and political predicaments we currently inhabit, via the specific lens of the growing ‘Flat Earth’ phenomenon.

The themes touched upon include individualism, democracy, identity, social isolation, truth decay and conspiracy theory – but there are many jokes too. Look out for them!

Following the screening their will be time for a discussion regarding many of these themes, led by the artist, Andrew Wilson.
