Bumble Domicile highlighted distinct features of local bumble bees through an observation hive, garden, visual and audio transformations, scent, touch, and biological information. Created by artists Sarah Peebles, Rob King, Rob Cruickshank and Anne Barros in collaboration with Canadian and U.S. biologists Laurence Packer, Stephen Buchmann, Jessamyn Manson and Peter Hallett, the installation premiered at Toronto's *new* gallery in 2008 (co-presented by InterAccess and NAISA). We will discuss our collaborative process, how research on bee biology, pathogen transmission and pollination ecology informed the project, how bumble bee health issues presented us with challenging decisions, and ongoing ‘Resonating Bodies’ works (resonatingbodies.wordpress.com).   Saturday May 8, 12pm to 4pm (one day only!)

The Too Cool For School Art & Science Fair Harbourfront Centre 235 Queen’s Quay West, Toronto Free, open to the public http://artandsciencefair.ca/ The Too Cool For School Art & Science Fair was invented to turn the spotlight on the unexpected feats of imagination and exploration that are happening all around us (an exhibition will follow in November). Resonating Bodies - Pollination Station #2: Deluxe Log an amplified habitat sculpture for solitary bees and wasps Sarah Peebles (Rob Cruickshank, electronics; John Kuisma, log fabrication) Many species of solitary, wild bees (and wasps) nest in vacated beetle bores and other pre-formed cavities, and are critical pollinators. “Deluxe Log” is a free-standing modified log which provides habitat and incorporates a weather-resistant observation panel, vibrational sensors (acting as microphones), custom-built circuitry, headphones and magnifying lens which, combined, provide a magnified, immersive environment in which to observe these pollinators in all stages of their life cycles.
