July, 2008 Speakers Series: Indigenous Pollinators, Habitat and Co-evolution Thursday July 17, 7:00 p.m: “Barcodes and Bees?” Featuring Professor Laurence Packer (York University) and “Resonating Bodies” artists.
Dr. Laurence Packer, Professor of Biology and Environmental Studies at York University, author of “A Guide to Toronto’s Pollinators” (published by the David Suzuki Foundation) will discuss pollinator diversity and pollinator-habitat relationships, emphasizing recent research regarding DNA barcode data in understanding the bees of Canada. Artists Sarah Peebles, Rob King, Anne Barros and Robert Cruickshank will be present to discuss their interdisciplinary work, “Resonating Bodies - Bumble Domicile” in this context. Topics include visualization of pollen gathering data, ultraviolet video, the electroforming process, and audio transformations of bee sounds. Resonating Bodies is a series of mixed media installations and community outreach projects which focus on the biodiversity of pollinators indigenous to the ecosystems of the Greater Toronto Area. Conceived by Sarah Peebles with Rob King, Rob Cruickshank and Anne Barros, the installations illuminate aspects of local biodiversity, such as bumblebee colonies and their foraging activities, ultraviolet bee vision, and pollinator/plant co-evolution.

Wednesday February 20th, 2008, 9pm “Pollinator Series: Hive Study” for room and solo performer MERCER UNION A Centre For Contemporary Visual Art Sound Performance/installation for computer, multiple speaker drivers, mixing bowls, Hive Study is a quasi-improvisational, quasi-chance performance piece/installation transforming the Mercer Union gallery space into a sonic honey bee hive featuring sounds of masses of bees recorded inside glass jugs and hives, cicada, and airplanes. Using material initially recorded over several days near Wellington, New Zealand at Lindsay's Apieries, Peebles mixes, layers, manipulates and projects these sounds alongside the shoh — the Japanese mouth-organ used in gagaku (court music) which has made use of beeswax for the past 1,500 years. You are invited to roam about the space, nap or sit where you like - BYO cushions, sleeping bags, blankets, pillows, etc. This project is part of the Canada Council's Music in Alternative Spaces program.
