Tomorrow Was Yesterday is an animation informed by Torkwase Dyson’s ongoing research into oil and gas drilling in the Caribbean seabed. This program immerses viewers in an underwater environment conceptualized by the artist, where the machinery of the resource industry has taken hold.

Dyson’s explorations question: “What is the magnitude of oil and gas extraction infrastructure? Why is there an incomprehensible distance between our everyday lives and the extraction points sprawled across this planet’s seabeds? Seabed mining is a transhistorical issue and I center process as a way of understanding its history and scale.”
