Sight Unseen - Visualising the Unseeable through Art and Science

At its most fundamental, the act of seeing is the sensory experience of detecting light. ‘Sight Unseen’ positions the notion of sight to be so much more. The book considers phenomena in our universe hidden from human sight, now made visible through the combined efforts of artists and scientists. Collaborative, multidisciplinary and non-hierarchical in its scope, this group of essays and images draws on Western and First Nations knowledge systems to ask readers to see together; to see the togetherness often hidden from our gaze; and to strive to see an ecological and cosmological entirety while acknowledging that we can only ever see a small portion of what exists.
