Recording the Unseen World Benneath Us, a lecture by Nikki Lindt

We are surrounded by a tapestry of sounds. Some natural, others not. Some audible, some hidden beneath the soil. Together, they tell a story about the changing earth. Please join us to hear from interdisciplinary artist Nikki Lindt as she discusses the trajectory of her art practice ranging from the exploration of thawing permafrost in the arctic circle to uncovering a world of underground sound in the parks and natural areas of New York City. Her visual and sound works create connection to these landscapes by way of contemplation, wonder and exploration while revealing a surprisingly dramatic sonic ecosystem that we do not normally hear.  

Lindt will discuss the relationship between her imagery and acoustic recordings and how her journey of discovery and collaboration led her to new ways of thinking about the broader ecosystem, as well as the role of art in our rapidly changing world due to climate change.
