Abstract
My art practice and research engage with dialogues between non-human animal species. During daily video filming of non-human species, a dialogue is formed with pigeons, geese and ducks and recorded in sound and video. As a result of the dialogue analysis, live improvised saxophone playing is included either directly with the geese or ducks, or alternatively, when the visual or sound artwork is formally exhibited or presented. If we believe that language is formed through movement, such as dance, then moments from the birds are a form of language used by them to communicate their world and life, resulting in rhythms which I interact with. Consequently, this results in co-production and co-authorship with non-human animal species. This workshop presentation reveals how sound contributes and changes artwork. As well as demonstrating dialogue between species and the resulting artwork, which in turn creates a dialogue between artwork and receiver. The workshop encourages live improvised sound-making from the audience to both video and photographic examples. This explores new avenues and revelations using sound and image.
