The Most Important Life-form on Earth That You May Never Have Seen

Hidden Life is inspired by the beauty, diversity and crucial existence of Plankton, our ocean’s tiny drifting organisms

Making up 95% of ocean life and absorbing CO2 to produce 50% of the oxygen we breather, the impact of plankton on the planet is huge and yet most are barely seen with the naked eye. Hidden Life encourages us to look closer, revealing the beauty, detail and diversity of our world’s smallest creations and to learn more about the hidden forms that sustain our planet.  

Created by visual artists Flora MacLeod and Simone Vulcano with sound designer Henry Sims, Hidden Life imagines drifting through fields of plankton-inspired organisms, passing creatures who have outgrown their planktonic stage and discovering a sparkling bioluminescent world. 

Lose yourself in surreal 3D worlds, and a haunting soundscape where every noise, from glacial rumbles to ocean whispers, pulls you even deeper into the hidden world.
