You Are a Microbe, You Are a Mass Extinction: A Guided Meditation

Take your body back in time
Back four billion years from today.
You are a tiny organism.
A microbe, one-tenth the size of a human cell,
Surrounded by others like you,
Your bodies embraced by warm liquid.
Collectively, you take Earth’s primal breath

You Are a Microbe, You Are a Mass Extinction: A Guided Meditation, is an immersive sound and video work that guides the listeners body into different beings through time – from the emergence of life on Earth, to the present, and on to speculative futures.
