Biomes 2020
Curious about the natural world? Want to know more about the species we share our planet with? Looking for ways to help save plants and animals? Then head to www.Biomes.art for an immersive virtual experience that uses art to showcase the wonders of biodiversity. Biomes is created by artists and scientists from the University of Newcastle and is designed to delight and educate the whole family about the fascinating, beautiful, and delicate array of life on our planet.
BIOMES is a culmination of efforts by a community of artists, scientists, researchers, lecturers, practitioners, communicators and designers with passion for the natural world. Their efforts have resulted in a venture like no other – an online exhibition that is both a celebration of biodiversity and a call to action. We all have a place on the planet – explore, cherish and protect.
