A collaboration between Ashish Ghadiali and Natural England’s eDNA Monitoring team, this project considers the technology of DNA through the prism of visual cultures. Developed through Natural England’s Arts-Science Collaboration (July–Dec 2024), the resulting proposal invites reflection on the power of eDNA as a tool to broaden our collective understanding of biodiversity at a local level and to develop, as a lived experience, an awareness of lifeforms beyond the limits of human perception.
