Wind Methodologies and Sensory Ecologies
Wind Methodologies and Sensory Ecologies
This workshop will be a site specific inquiry inspired by the concept of « pollination» understood as a modality, not so much aiming reproduction, but creating vital connexions between members of the various species. In order to attract the bee or the bumblebee, and make them contribute to the process of pollination, the plants seem to rely on their aesthetic agency, producing smells and colours. On the other side, recent research has prooved that flowers « have ears » : they react to the sound of the bees (wing flapping)), by producing a more sweet nectar in order to keep them more time on them.
But pollination is not only realised with insects but also with the air movement. It is the pollination that occurs by itself in nature and thus plants have been reproducing for millions of years.
The air (anemos in greek) offers life through the food chain and finally it is understood that movement is a necessary condition for any living organism (Latin for anima). Through the ecosystem of pollination, the static human or vegetal structures obtain an « animistic » dimension.
In an attempt to transfer this paradigm in the general ecosystem of the island, or to be inspired by it, a question arises: Through what sensitive, sensorial, affective or emotional means do the inhabitants (human and non-human) of the island Hydra create connexions and interdependencies? Or, the other way round: What kind of affects or sensorial effects are produced by the connexions and interdependencies organising the largely political life of the island ?
Students from the Athens School of Fine Arts and the École supérieure d’Art & Design TALM –Angers have gathered here in Hydra during the last few days to exchange ideas and theory under the topic of Sensory Ecologies and the valuable guidance of Vanessa Theodoropoulou.
