09-09-2020-ContemplatingTheApocalypse is part of the series 09/09/2020 by by artist and photographer Steve Piasecki. On the 9th of September 2020, San Francisco woke up to a red sky. Immense forest fires were burning all over the Pacific Northwest and turning the skies all tints from smoky ochre to apocalyptic red. Originally built as an immersive audiovisual piece for the Recombinant Media Labs Cinechamber, 09/09/2020 is the product of multimedia artist Steve Piasecki's aim to create not just a record, but a visceral experience of envelopment in a hostile landscape.
