Contributors shared both intimate and fierce reflections on how First Peoples artists and cultural workers move through time and manipulate it: how it is an inheritance we bring into everything that we do. cover artist James Tylor (Kaurna) @jamesptylor by @friends.with.computers

Merging art, science, technology and the natural world, Friends With Computers’ Under Waters is an interactive immersive installation that invites viewers to enter—and remain within—a pocket of deep time. Building a multi-sensory experience through projection, tracking technologies and poetic computation, the work presents a parallel universe that celebrates the metaphysical connection between oceans and stars, diving into a speculative past while travelling towards a celestial future. Learn more about Under Waters in the latest PICA Art Talks video. @friends.with.computers @_april.p_ @pat.younis @jordan_east boorda yeyi is supported by The Ian Potter Foundation (Founding Patron), along with the Feilman Foundation and Lotterywest (Principal Patrons). 'Under Waters' is supported by Perth Festival and Wesfarmers Arts through their Boorloo Contemporary program. ⁠ ⁠ @ianpotterfdn #feilmanfoundation @lotterywest ⁠@perthfest @wesfarmersarts⁠ ⁠ Video: @edwinsitt by @friends.with.computers

Under Waters 🌀🐚🐚 FRIENDS WITH COMPUTERS: April Phillips, Jordan East, Pat Younis 19 February - 29 March @pica_perth @perthfest 12-5 PM, Tues- Sun 11:13 mins (loop) Complex Digital Object (moving image, sound, real-time body tracking, digital sculptures, photogrammetry scans, animation, particle systems), polyester tassels, cotton / polyester rugs, aluminium and polyvinyl. 2025 boorda yeyi Immersive Arts Commission Under Waters uncovers a speculative past of 500,000,000 (five hundred million) years ago when the majority of Earth’s surface was submerged in water. Streamed as a seamless loop, this moving image work operates as a portal—an all-access pass to a seemingly impossible dreaming— presenting ‘now’ in parallel to ‘long ago’ as a step to actualise deep time. Extending the immense spatial and temporal scale of the work, Under Waters operates as a site for real-time play and interaction. The presence of the audience’s bodies mirror in the digital world, creating cause and effect in the unfolding scene. Immersed within the continuum of an ancient saltwater wonderland, audiences become inhabitants—activating this thriving world through movement and attentiveness. The depths of the ocean floor present deep-water canyons, coral seas and rich kelp forests; an expansive and interconnected ecosystem. The slow propulsion through the deep reveals a rip, opening to a galactic sky: stars, nebula and infinite blackness—a reminder that deep oceans and sky are connected as one; opposing points of truth that anchor the universe. Under Waters is the inaugural recipient of PICA’s boorda yeyi Immersive Arts Commission. boorda yeyi, meaning ‘future now’ in Whadjuk Noongar language, is a program dedicated to expanding artistic practice through the use of technology, contributing to new ways of understanding, producing and experiencing contemporary art in Australia. taken in PICA - Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts by @friends.with.computers

Under Waters Cover Story for @artguideau by @rosamundbrennan Launch Feb 2026 @pica_perth with @perthfest @artonthe_move ——— Presented as the first boorda yeyi Immersive Arts Commission, Under Waters carries audiences into a speculative past, billions of years before our own, when saltwater stretched across most of the Earth’s surface. The installation celebrates water as a key element of life, opening a portal into deep time where oceanic and celestial realms entwine. Visitors are invited to slow down and dwell within a living, generative environment that reshapes itself in response to their presence. Through real-time body tracking, each person’s silhouette dissolves and reforms as Xenophora-like forms echoing marine molluscs that adorn their shells with gathered fragments. As audiences linger, their digital bodies accrete layers of coral, sand, rock and stellar matter, becoming part of an abundant natural world. taken in PICA - Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts by @friends.with.computers
