So marks the end of our Arsbioarctica residency at Kilpisjärvi Biological Station in Gilbbesjávri / Kilpisjärvi, Sápmi. A massive ngā mihi, kiitos, and thank you to the staff at Kilpisjärvi Biological Station for being so welcoming and generous with your hosting, time and knowledge. To the Bioart Society crew (Milla, Yvonne, Eliisa, and Leena) for the opportunity of this residency and to participate in the Field_Notes - Living Methodologies field laboratory. We loved the conversations, workshops and talks we had throughout our time here. Thank you to the field researchers who took us out to observe and join in on their research — this was a highlight of the trip and we will be processing what we learnt for some time to come (a long term study). Special thanks to Anu Ruohomäki for facilitating our stay at the station: digging out interesting equipment for us to explore, trusting us in the lab, and for tea on the tundra together.

Opening next Thursday! 7 - 30 August Cloud Above, Cloud Below The Observatory Project with Fernando Cremades For CLOUD ABOVE, CLOUD BELOW, The Observatory Project (NZ) and Fernando Cremades (ES) have observed two clouds inside glass chambers at the antipodes of the Earth: drawing a line between Tāmaki Makaurau in Aotearoa and Madrid in Spain. In order to observe the trace of a radioactive particle moving through the immediate environment, we had our head in the clouds, under a blanket. Our eyes were each fixed on the local atmosphere inside a fish tank as the cloud started to form. Observations began, and we noted when we thought we saw something. The conditions had to be right: calm (no wind), gentle precipitation, and supersaturation. In a cloud of isopropyl alcohol, temporary trails reminiscent of those left in the sky by jets appeared, as radioactive particles zipped through the chamber and our bodies. Identifying different shapes as they materialised in the vapour, we called out to each other cloud above, cloud below. @audio.foundation @fernando.cremades @ziggylever @poachedeggmon

Adaptable Sound Interferometry Equipment (ASINE). Had a great week of not-measuring at The Acoustics and Research Centre with @ziggylever as @the_observatory_project . Thanks to @citacsy and @audio.foundation for the support and @lucymeyle for making an amazing publication and helping out on the day too

Pipe dream is open for the next month at @audio.foundation

First gig of the Wellington went really well - thanks to everyone who came out! Playing tomorrow at @newtownmoon with D.R.O.O.P.I.E at 8pm and with @sally.gates on Saturday too!!

Miyazaki vibes in the workshop today.. excited for Sunday eek!

Hey everyone! Last year Ziggy and I were working super hard on a pretty huge project that is going to have its first outing on the 1st of August. It's super exciting to finally share with the world our "Adaptable Sound Interferometry Equipment (A SINE)" which is a sight to behold and a sonic experience to say the least. We will be using it at this greta festival alongside a number of other amazing installations and sound works. /events/329597738747541
