Developed through work in Cornafulla Bog and the Shannon Callows, the exhibition brings together video projection, sound, sculpture, a large GIS map and a ten-metre LED ticker. It considers how landscape is observed, measured, recorded and publicly represented.

The sound design for the film was created by Karima Dillon El-Toukhy, a composer, performer and music educator who lectures in music at IADT and specialises in screen composition and post-production audio.

The exhibition has been supported by Accenture through Business to Arts and by Fulbright Ireland through the Fulbright Alumni Project Fund.

Amanda would also like to invite alumni to the public programme at the Bog Bothy, a temporary gathering space on Cornafulla Bog from 11 July to 9 August. Designed by architect's 12th Field and developed with the Irish Architecture Foundation, the Bothy is touring peatland communities in 2026 in partnership with Tóchar, with support from the National Parks and Wildlife Service. The project received a 2026 Architectural Association of Ireland Award.

Clyde Doyle, lecturer, designer and researcher at IADT, will be in residence at the Bog Bothy from 19–25 July. Clyde is co-founder of IADT’s Public Design Lab and co-chair of the MA in Design for Change. His work focuses on ecological design, participatory practice and design for social and environmental change.

Jessica Foley, who teaches Critical and Contextual Studies at IADT, will participate in the Nature and Education panel discussion with Patrick Kirwan of the Irish Schools Sustainability Network. Her teaching and research use writing, close observation and experimental methods to develop new ways of questioning familiar texts, images and objects.
