Ananda Gabo: Near-Future Heirlooms (Date to be annouced!)
Ananda's philosophy of bio-art and design is shaped by the idea of "near-future heirlooms". In this talk, we will go over some of her latest explorations and hybrid fabrication methodologies through her lens of combining ancestral knowledge, contemporary technique, and slow making.
We will cover:
- Intention planning in project creation (who really is the audience of an artwork?)
- Explorations in record cutting (and how she recognized it to be a valuable resource in raising money for environmental conservation efforts)
- Honoring life and death in jade carving (the bugs and the humans that were involved).
- Micro-environmental music (crystals as co-composers)
- Ancestral knowledge, contemporary technique, and slow making.
