In this four-channel video installation, Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDC’s) – and their increasingly frequent and lasting presence within our bodies and lives, via food, soil, and water – are the thematic thread
through the scientific practices of four women researchers. The work brings together agricultural policy, toxicology, water quality research, environmental law, and art around the common theme of chemical pollution. Four women researchers from the EU Joint Research Centre and Strathclyde University personally developed and performed the ceremony representing their research. In these rituals, methods from dominant scientific practice are woven with spoken text, movement
and symbolic locations and objects, becoming new tools for knowledge production.

This project funded by the European Commission Joint Research Centre as part of the SciArt Resonances IV program.

Can we develop new, collective ways of listening to, or sensing rivers? How can we better connect with our local bodies of water?

The All Rivers and Species Act is a collaborative, process driven project exploring the rights of nature and the personhood of a river. The project was developed during the FIBER Reassemble lab 2021, where our diverse group of artists investigated policy texts, AI tools, sound and video making. This exploration resulted in a speculative river policy text, a short sound and video piece and a full day, site specific, participatory experience which explores—through sensing, ceremony and making—the possibilities for understanding bodies of water as living beings rather than as a resource. We use virtual world-building tools with hands on craft techniques to prototype fantastic beings fighting for legal rights of the rivers and bodies of water

This project was developed in the frame of the FIBER Reassemble Lab: Weaving With Worlds and supported by FIBER and Holland Festival.

Poetically Based Rendering is a project developed around four water bodies: the Britz canal, the Oder river, the Main and the Peene river.
Through extensive engagement with these sites we gathered sounds, smells, materials and textures through physical and digital sensing tools. This resulted in a methodology for working across physical and digital
modes, translating bodily experiences into digital world building.
Field recordings, weavings, images and 3D scans are processed using digital tools (Photogrammetry/Polycam, Materialize, Blender 3D, Unity), resulting in speculative beings, stories and virtual river worlds.
