SCHEDULE AND ARTIST PRESENTERSOctober 12th: Ursula BiemannThe screening of Forest Mind (2021) followed by Q&A.  Located in the rainforests of Colombia, the experimental video Forest Mind (2021) brings practices of modern science and transitional medicine into conversation about the intelligence and metaphysics of plants and the coding of life in the language of DNA. Ursula Biemann is an artist, author, and video essayist. Her artistic practice is strongly research oriented and involves fieldwork in remote locations from Greenland to Amazonia, where she investigates climate change and the ecologies of oil, ice, forests and water. In her multi-layered videos, the artist interweaves vast cinematic landscapes with documentary footage, SF poetry and academic findings to narrate a changing planetary reality. Biemann’s pluralistic practice spans a range of media including experimental video, interview, text, performance, photography, cartography, props and materials, which converge in formalized spatial installations. Her work also adopts the form of publications, lectures, and curatorial as well as collaborative research projects. Her earlier writing and experimental video work focused on the gendered dimension of migration. She also made space and mobility her prime category in the curatorial projects “Geography and the Politics of Mobility”, “The Maghreb Connection“, and the widely exhibited art and research project Sahara Chronicle on clandestine migration networks. https://geobodies.org---October 19th: Timothy MortonMorton is a prolific philosopher and writer who speaks to the ways in which art is, inherently, ecological, and how we can reconcile our experience of the environment at scales of the climate crisis. They are the Rita Shea Guffey Chair in English at Rice University and Director of the Cool America Foundation. They have collaborated with Laurie Anderson, Björk, Jennifer Walshe, Hrafnhildur Arnadottir, Sabrina Scott, Adam McKay, Jeff Bridges, Olafur Eliasson, Pharrell Williams and Justin Guariglia, and they co-wrote and appears in Living in the Future’s Past, a 2018 film about global warming with Jeff Bridges. They are the author of the libretto for the opera Time Time Time by Jennifer Walshe. Morton has written All Art Is Ecological (Penguin, 2021), Spacecraft (Bloomsbury, 2021), Hyposubjects: On Becoming Human (Open Humanities, 2021), Being Ecological (Penguin, 2018), Humankind: Solidarity with Nonhuman People (Verso, 2017), Dark Ecology: For a Logic of Future Coexistence (Columbia, 2016), Nothing: Three Inquiries in Buddhism (Chicago, 2015), Hyperobjects: Philosophy and Ecology after the End of the World (Minnesota, 2013), Realist Magic: Objects, Ontology, Causality (Open Humanities, 2013), The Ecological Thought (Harvard, 2010), Ecology without Nature (Harvard, 2007), 8 other books and 270 essays on philosophy, ecology, literature, music, art, architecture, design and food. Morton’s work has been translated into 15 languages. In 2014 they gave the Wellek Lectures in Theory. http://ecologywithoutnature.blogspot.com/ ---October 26th: Jenn E Norton Jenn E Norton is an artist using time-based media to create immersive, experiential installations using stereoscopic, interactive video, animation, augmented reality, geolocative sound, and kinetic sculpture. Often using video as a starting point within her process, her imaginative compositions use a combination of pre-cinema and contemporary display technologies while exploring the blurring boundaries of virtual and physical realms. Norton’s recent animations and augmented reality apps draw upon her interest in the ways in which information is exchanged between humans, technology, and, as seen in her recent solo exhibition in Montreal (ELLEPHANT|Art), plants. Current research areas within Norton’s practice explore the use of metaphor in physics as a conceptual genesis, communicative device, poetic practice, and demonstrative application of technological and natural phenomena. Norton has shown her work nationally and internationally, with upcoming exhibitions in Nuit Blanche (Toronto), Platforms (Athens), Berlin (public augmented reality series), and is currently a Ph.D. candidate in Visual Arts at York University and is an Assistant Professor in Film + Media at Queen’s University.https://www.jennenorton.com/---November 2nd: Jaguar Mary XJaguar Mary X’s art practice involves black feminist discourse, questions of history, reality and truth as they relate to science and the unknown, and the purpose of the soul/spirit in art. X is influenced by afro-futurist tropes and speech act theory. Their performance practice has, at its core, a purposeful and at times, fanciful exploration of notions of freedom and liberation strategies for both sentient and non-sentient beings. X recognizes Kali Maie, White Star, Astrea Aurora, Jane Carleton, Vickie Dodd and Malidoma Some as their teachers in ritual practice.Their performances are interactive structures that involve movement, narrative, and ritual practices such as chanting, repeated gestures, and gazing to create a sensate journey that audience practitioners become a part of.  As a glossolalia vocalist, X uses speaking in tongues combined with previously written lyrics as elements in a performance score. They’re interested in how the archetypes of shaman, healer, activist, muse and storyteller impact the public realm and how they can be used to heal and guide us in times of trouble. Improvisation, in the context of X’s work, arises from the experience of embodying the effects of the narrative. The “intra-action” that is born during a performance becomes a form of attunement- an alchemy between all practitioners present, the artist and the audience members in the space. X explores tyranny as a program that attempts to delimit and homogenize the personality in order to untie vampiric tyrannical webs that seep into our consciousness and plant themselves in our minds as truth. https://www.kaliartproject.com/---November 9th: Špela Petrič A presentation of, On The Vegetariat, followed by Q&A. Špela Petrič is a Ljubljana and Amsterdam based new media artist who has been trained in the natural sciences as well as transmedia arts. Her artistic practice combines technology, wet biomedia practices, and performance. She is currently working as a researcher at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, studying how automation of care manifests in various spheres, from horticulture to human medicine. Petrič received several awards, such as the White Aphroid for outstanding artistic achievement (Slovenia), the Bioart and Design Award (Netherlands), and an Award of Distinction at Prix Ars Electronica (Austria). The PLANT-MACHINE is the umbrella title for an art practice and research through which Špela Petrič examines the entwinement of advanced technologies with living bodies, positing horticulture as a model of these relations. By experimenting with ways to appropriate or subvert data acquisition and processing methods, the projects question the current use of algorithms. In the context of the artworks, data becomes the raw material for non-utilitarian, speculative representations of plant life in the sphere of information. https://www.spelapetric.org—iEAR Salon is curated by the Ph.D students of Arts Graduate Colloquium, Fall 2022: Nina Isabelle, John Santomieri, Hanae Utamura, Allie Wist, Arma Yari with Arts Graduate Colloquium Professor Branda Miller; iEAR Presents! curated by Kathy High and Branda Miller.
