Entangled Harmonies: Biosonification Workshop with Willow Gatewood
Entangled Harmonies: Exploring connection through the inner worlds of plants and fungi
Early Bird Tickets: $35
Tickets starting 1 Week prior: $65
In this workshop, interdisciplinary artist and musician Willow will guide you in making music with plants, fungi, and one another. We will learn the basics of recording biodata to a laptop and turning it into music through a process called biosonification, as well as explore how art and technology act as a portal to connecting with the ecosystems in which we entangle. Hosted by LINES NY. Located at 302 Bowery, New York, NY LINES is an atelier offering unique and highly coveted wellness spa services, artful tattoos, fashion products, education, and events that foster community and collaboration.

Notes on Biosonificaton:
Biosonification involves turning biological processes within organisms into music or sound. Electrodes and a midi-data biosonification device convert changes in micro-conductivity in plants and fungi to midi notes, which "play" digital instruments. Willow's interest in biosonification lies both in producing rich sonic landscapes that intrigue and connect viewers to the world around them and as a novel method for researching processes that influence micro-conductivity, including ion transport, water transport, and electrical activity in the body of the organism.
