In a previous email Alyce Santoro gave us three proocations for the
post pandemic summarised below
but in full at

Post Pandemic Provocation no 7: B.C. Before and A.C. After the Coronacene
Let us Give the Bacteria and Viruses a Voice- Artists can already hear
them, can you?
or : The Anthropocene has become the ?Coronacene?, with poetic sound
incense transforming us, thanks to the work of artscientists
described below.
This blog post on behalf of one of many small emerging post pandemic
Leonardo villages: seaded by Nina Czegledy, Joel Slayton, Diana Ayton
Shenker, Alyce Santoro, and 296 others named below.
We live in strange times when the desirable unexpected may need to be provoked.
Provocation 1:
In times like this, we need more un-necessary research,
Not Provocative: less un-necessary travel, email and texting and
un-necessary consumption
Provocation 2: but above all we must re-define the un-necessary.
(I learned these new-old ideas at the STARTS village reunion at IRCAM
in Paris ( https://vertigo.starts.eu/ )
just two weeks before the world started having a covid 19 panic attack.
So here we go:
Nina Czegledy, Joel Slayton and I were tasked by the new Leonardo CEO
Diana Ayton-Shenker (https://www.leonardo.info/led/19253 ) to think
aloud about how the Leonardo art,science,technology (
https://www.leonardo.info/welink-ten-easy-pieces ) villages of
villages could have an impact in these chaotic and turbulent times of
COVID 19.
We are slowly stewing a Proven?ale Bouillabaisse that could become a
Leonardo Post Pandemic Provocation Soup.
Alyce Santoro in the Yasmin village
(http://yasminlist.blogspot.com/2020/ ) proposed three types of
provocations:
she said:
I suggest that in the post-pandemic world, creative practices (ones
that arouse the imagination, senses, and emotions??
. The objective stance we are obliged to take as good scientists in
fact reinforces the notion that humans are autonomous entities/outside
observers, separate from one another and the biosphere?
An Intricate Ensemble: The Art-Science of An Ecological Imaginary for
the Anthropocene Epoch? is available for download in its entirety at
RISD Digital Commons:
https://digitalcommons.risd.edu/masterstheses/415/
<https://digitalcommons.risd.edu/masterstheses/415/>.
No doubt members of our villages can come up with others ? Rap them out !
The good news is that a team of artscience researchers have already
developed the methods to hear the sounds of bacteria, but also viruses
(ask Scot Gresham Lancaster, Gagan Wig and Sharath Chandra Ram who
have pioneered techniques through our Data Stethoscope projects: )
Watch the YouTube video led by Ritwik Kaikini that shows the simple
techniques that artists, working with scientists, developed to listen
to the sound of bacteria colonies growing, expanding and also dying.
If only we could hear the Corona Virus COVID 19, then humans could
adapt their behaviors to co-exist. Oops we do not want to destroy
viruses and bacteria, we need them for us to exist at all, we need to
be all in the microbiome happy together.
So below, is the illustration of one technique for hearing bacteria,
there are many, by the UTD Dallas ArtSciLab (
https://artscilab.atec.io/ ) with the Gassensmith Bio Chemistry Lab
Here below , in turn, in detail:
A) Alyce Santoro?s Threefold Provocation
Followed by the
B) BioLux Chants project that allowed humans to hear the sound of
bacteria singing for the first time. Listen here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-pmmKRMT9w
C) Ayen Deng and her team or artistphysicists have been giving voice
to carbon nanotubes that could be useful to help us co exist with
Covid 19.
Roger in Dallas, please phone/txt/ +15108532007 if urgent
The Malinas+1 are fine, but we have friends with Covid19
Take care.
