excerpt from the project proposal: “This project aims to create speculative poetic material on sonic interrelatedness between plants and humans, and to condense these findings into a video and a sound installation. To fully immerse into our mission and gain depth in our speculative material, the artistic team, consisting of four dancers, three musicians and three filmmakers, will live and work together for a week on a remote land in the Mojave desert.

We will experiment with a recording technique known as “holobiontism” which allows to record the electronic impulses of plants. The same technique will be used for recording the electronical impulses of the performers as well as connecting humans and plants with each other via neuro-scanner membranes and AI-Interfaces. We will meditate with the plants arround and develope movement-material that embodies the connection made.

The Mojave desert has a long history of attracting all sorts of believers and outlaws, alien-seekers and new-age enthusiasts. Just about the right legacy to explore planetary narratives and find new futurities.”
