12.00 | Artist’s Provocation rivercities and urbanflows (Carolyn Deby, Artist, Researcher) 15 minutes of presentation and provocation, with 15 minutes of response time Carolyn will present her rivercities project (2010-2014) which considered the Earth’s hydrosphere as a global flow through and between bodies, cities, and more. Her current research urbanflows expands on this consideration of water flows to consider multiple everyday symbiosis and interrelations in the urban-wild on scales from molecules to the planet. By ‘performing site’ her research considers the body as process, as immersed in situations where acts of becoming, reflection, memory, and habit move between the material/immaterial, the human/non-human, the incidental and the intentional. |
