Danielle Parsons explores science, art, and technology to illuminate themes of self-organization, symbiosis, and scale. Her multidisciplinary practice utilizes microscopes, video, photography, and generative chemical art to reveal hidden dimensions. Through a range of lens-based modalities, she captures living organisms, crystalline structures, and chemical reactions, revealing unseen relationships and fostering new connections with the natural world. Her layered video installations juxtapose human and non-human perspectives, using diverse materials from non-recyclables to organic matter. By inviting viewers to enjoy the beauty in invisible systems and microscopic scale, Parsons aims to inspire a shift in perspective toward other forms of intelligence and ecological balance. Inspired by her formative studies under evolutionary biologist Edward O. Wilson at Harvard University, Parsons investigates how fundamental forces shape intelligent organizations of biological and ecological systems.
