On Plant Time is a night featuring the culmination of three practical honours projects. Working through the disciplines of video instillation, contemporary performance and film these artists each use their medium to explore important questions about time, relationality and place. They ask question about how we interact with our surroundings and how those surrounds interact and impact us and our perceptions of the everyday world.
The projects each have showing from 7pm. Rachael's project will also run an all day lab from 10am that you are welcome to drop in and experiecne.
An exploration of SymbioSonics by Rachael Adamson.
Welcome to a fusion of nature, technology, and the human. Using newly available cutting-edge sensor systems and biofeedback, humans and digital systems are able to explore the hidden symphony of plant life, enabling us to listen to and feel the intricate melodies of photosynthesis and growth. Verdance: An exploration of SymbioSonics facilitates a convergence of the biosphere, the technosphere and the anthroposphere, exploring a new state of coexistence in SymbioSonic harmony.
Please join Verdance throughout the day from 10am - 6:30pm for an open lab.

A film installation by Cristian Speranza
Turning to the daily routines of their respective female protagonists, Chantal Akerman's Jeanne Dielman, 23 quai du commerce, 1080 Bruxelles (1975) and Eric Gravel's Full Time (2021) are dismantled and reassembled into a looping flow of images. Projected alongside one another, the two films are both coupled and uncoupled by their portrayals of labouring onscreen female bodies.
This event is presented by the School of Arts, Design and Architecture with assistance from the Esme Timbery Creative Practice Lab.
