SLOW LEAK (Li-Ion), eau de parfum, essential oils and denatured alcohol: "A lithium-ion battery leak smells like a strong, sweet, chemical, or solvent-like odor, often compared to nail polish remover, rotten eggs, or sometimes even fruity/alcoholic, indicating escaping electrolyte, and requires immediate, careful handling due to fire/explosion risk, involving disconnecting the device, moving it to a safe outdoor spot, and proper disposal.“ Female vocalist approximates sounds from a Tesla electric vehicle, audio, 10m loop, vocalist credit: Kamala Sankaram @kamalasankaram Plato’ s cicada, cicada exoskeleton, pulverized smart phone screens scroll, pulverized smart phone screens, matte medium, Galvalume, hardware swipe, pulverized smart phone screens, matte medium, Galvalume, hardware Terrestrial Extra curated by @roundaboutsnow_

floodgate A cell phone resting on the gallery floor broadcasts the real-time translation of water quality data from the Genesee River into a female choir, interpreting the weather of the river as an ever changing and continuous vocalization. Some vocalizations form words that compose the ancient Greek ritual shout the ololyga, a vocal performance particular to females and practiced in times of extreme pain or ecstasy such as child birth, catastrophe, war. A two inch wide line painted with lipstick belonging to the artist’s suicided mother - L’oreal Colour Riche in Penelope’s Red #320 - marks the continuity of all three walls of an adjacent gallery. A glass door freezer contains the artist's placenta from her first born daughter. A microphone amplifies the sound of the freezer’s compressor and plays continuously through a speaker in the other room. On one wall of this room, a cast hand of the muse Calliope modeled after an ancient Greek sculpture in her likeness emerges from a wall. The exoskeleton of a cicada covered in the dust of crushed LCD screens is perched on her index finger.

👄between Scylla and Charybdis: listen to the Genesee* River sing🌊First public sculpture as solar powered website, server and audio live stream🌞🌍NOTE: sound is live during daylight hours only⏳between Scylla and Charybdis is a solar powered audio live stream that articulates the quality and composition of the Genesee River’s water into a female vocal choir. Four pieces of hydrologic data—water temperature, level, salinity, and turbidity—are recorded by four distinct sensors in the Genesee River monitored by the United States Geological Survey (USGS). Scraped from the USGS website and interpreted by a custom software program, the data is translated into song, fluctuating and shifting in composition as the river itself moves and changes form. The title of the piece is Homeric and derives from a scene in The Odyssey when Odysseus must navigate between the lesser of two disasters by land and sea imaged as Scylla and Charybdis, two mythic female sea monsters.

It is a tributary of so-called Lake Ontario, which is Niigaani-gichigami or Gichi-zaaga’igan in Anishinaabemowin (Ojibwe) and Ontarí'io in Huron.

I am vastly outnumbered by my tiny companions; better put, I become an adult human being in company with these tiny messmates.
