This performance is a continuation of Holobiont: Relics from the Revolution, which is currently shown in the group exhibition Hackers, Makers, Thinkers at Art Laboratory Berlin. The performance features excerpts of compositions from Cyanotoxic Romance, a multi-species musical theater piece centered on love and relationships in times of precarity that further imagines the symbiosis between an intersectional working class and toxic cyanobacteria (known as blue-green algae) in the midst of revolution. The music composition
accompanies the story in envisioning how cyanobacteria and humans could musically expand together symbiotically. Investigating interdisciplinary musical pathways for algorithmic computer music, natural patterns from data of cyanobaceria’s subvisible world are sonifed and interwoven within a shared narrative from a proletarian queer-feminist perspective urging for alternatively prolific closeness and intimacy between humans and nature.
Cammack Lindsey is an artist whose practice includes BioArt DIY techniques and political musical theater, expanding this space to redistribute stolen futures through performances and installations, they work together with code, voice, sound, & the materialization of magic, ghosts, and clouds. Based in Berlin, they produced their first 8-hour musical with M.I/mi1glissé at Acker Stadt Palast in May 2017 and in 2019, premiered their most recent musical composition ' ∫ ( { } )_visible window', releasing the recording online with the label Quantum Natives. Their works have been presented in Berlin at KW, State Studio, and HAU, and internationally at Cafe Oto (London), Ars Electronica (Linz), RIXC Open Fields (Riga) and Encuentro Tecnofeminista (Mexico City).
Hanita Firoozmand is a pharmacist, studied in Tehran university of medical sciences and later graduated from Freie Universität Berlin. On the side of her scientific practice, she has been involved in artistic projects of her own or in collectives in fields of stop motion animation, graphics and music. Currently, she is experimenting with musical expression and intonation to explore ways the voice and cello can be used to portray emotions that cannot be conveyed through spoken language.
