Secrets of Soil is an interactive experience into the hidden world of soil. Your journey will take you to a microscopic world to witness the essential life forms that reside there. See how bacteria and plants speak to each other, glide through vast fungal webs, and unearth the secret of how this hidden universe could help save us from climate disaster. The project is freely available online on Steam, as well as on YouTube as a 360-degree video. It can be difficult for people to care about something if they don’t empathise with it, so I wanted to use digital art & games to submerge audiences within the soil and allow them to explore this hidden microscopic world. I wanted to reveal that soil isn’t just dirt but rather a vital ecosystem full of life, in the hope that this inspires audiences to think differently about soil, to connect to it, and to care for it. To show that arable agriculture and how we look after our soil is an essential part of how we can combat climate change.
