‘Horizon’ follows the journey of humankind through time, how we have discovered our place in the universe through what we see, and how that view has changed as we go beyond the limit of our horizon.

Beginning with the scientific teachings of the English medieval polymath Robert Grosseteste and journeying to 21st century satellite explorations at the Jet Propulsion Laboratories, NASA, we see how our knowledge is shaped by the horizon of our viewpoint, by what is visible and invisible to us, and how we still seek answers on how we should live.

Karen worked with scientists from JPL-NASA involved with climate investigations, particularly on water availability for plant life and the threat of rising sea levels creating scripts and storyboards that connected their work with Grosseteste's theories. Through the partnership with the Ordered Universe team members, Karen recorded also the fruits of their own research as well as carrying out further research of her own to weave the potent narrative.

In Poole, she presented a talk on creatively working with the group at the event’s light art symposium.

everywhere I go I am bathed in light and I am so, so scared all the time though at times I find these strange moments fall upon me, flickers, shifts, modulations, there is so much stillness and the warmth is so bearable. I think the names of all those people I will never know. They are contained here in these composite strings, thrumming in some hot-cold even-tiding way. I think that I will never be able to grasp it!
