Discover the secrets of a mysterious alien world. A breakdown of Planet Veteris from Michael Beaudry’s inventive speculative biology project ‘Exobiotica.’ Let’s say you’re visiting Earth for the first time. And the tour of the planet consists of being dropped into random locations for about five seconds before being whisked away to an entirely different spot on the globe. If you knew nothing whatsoever about life on Earth, how might you interpret what you saw? At first, these narrow glimpses of a vast world would be confusing, and probably a little bizarre. But over time, as the brief snapshots formed a greater whole — you might be able to get a sense of broader patterns of life here on Earth. ‘Exobiotica’ is a speculative biology project by incredible artist Michael Beaudry that offers similarly limited windows into the sprawling alien biosphere of a planet called Veteris. And the lifeforms we can document are uniquely alien — even by the standards of speculative biology.
