Facilitator: Joah Lui
On a recent trip to Toronto, I met artists Tosca Teran and Andrei Gravelle (nanotopia.tv) and began to learn about hacking technology to create Bio-Sound-Art with mycelium, plants and other living bodies. With them, I was able to build and bring back my very own portable Bio-sonification module to sample, amplify and record microscopic fluctuations in conductivity. Could this be what our ENERGY or QI sounds like? If you’d like to experience what the invisible layers of the forest sound like, bring some art supplies and join me for a quiet and contemplative time to draw, paint, write, sculpt, etc. This will be a 2-hour experience culminating in a temporary gallery exhibit at the end of the workshop.
All ages welcome with children 15 years and under accompanied by an adult.
