Evolver: An Immersive Journey of Life and Breath

Directed by: Marshmallow Laser Feast
Run time: 25 minutes
Language: English

Evolver is a virtual reality experience by Marshmallow Laser Feast that takes you deep into the landscape of the body, following the flow of oxygen through our branching ecosystem to its origin – a single ‘breathing cell’ among the trillion of cells that sustain us.

This journey takes viewers through the processes that sustain life as air travels from our mouth to lungs, whirling like a tornado, before circulating around the complex rivers and tributaries of the cardiovascular system. As this life force reaches the outer extremities, traverse through the billowing synapses of the brain, into the tips of the fingers and toes, and see how the interior blooms into a forest of branching pathways – illuminated just by a breath of life-giving oxygen.

In this immersive journey, see how breath not only sparks life but also connects us to the natural world through the cycle of respiration.

Executive produced by Edward R. Pressman and Terrence Malick, featuring voice over by Cate Blanchett and music by Jonny Greenwood, Meredith Monk, Jóhann Jóhannsson, Howard Skempton and Jon Hopkins.
