ScanLAB Projects: FRAMERATE: Desert Pulse
Desert Botanical Garden, Arizona, is proud to present a new site-specific exhibition from the UK-based artist-led studio ScanLAB Projects, from October 11, 2025 鈥� May 10, 2026. Titled FRAMERATE: Desert Pulse, it marks the studio鈥檚 most ambitious work to date, documenting daily changes in the landscape of the Sonoran Desert. The project merges art, technology, and environmental research to bear witness to the environment, whilst illuminating the beauty and fragility of the desert landscape. The landmark exhibition marks the latest installment in Desert Botanical Garden's prestigious bi-annual art exhibition series, following Dale Chihuly (2021) and Fernando Botero (2023).
Part of the studio鈥檚 ongoing acclaimed FRAMERATE series, the new body of work uses ScanLAB鈥檚 proprietary FRAMERATE technique, a process of time-lapse 3D scanning using advanced LiDAR technology, to record subtle, daily changes in desert landscapes and ecosystems across a full twelve-month period. Installed throughout the Garden鈥檚 cactus filled landscape, the exhibition features four large-scale spatialized screen installations paired with an indoor multi-screen exhibition, launching the Garden鈥檚 new The RAF Exhibit gallery spaces. Inside, custom-designed, high-fidelity OLED screen sculptures act as portals into dynamically changing environments. Woven throughout, sonic landscapes by sound designer and composer Pascal Wyse amplify and reflect the impact of the visuals.
Desert Pulse, a multi-sensory art exhibit by ScanLAB Projects, immerses visitors in the visual and emotional energy of the Sonoran Desert. The thought-provoking exhibit celebrates the breathtaking complexity of nature and challenges you to see it through a different lens. Blending photography, motion and sound, it awakens a deeper appreciation of the Sonoran Desert.
