Page Person: GREEN SCREEN VOCAL SAC
July 7 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm
A meditation on our relationships with nature and technology, GREEN SCREEN VOCAL SAC invites attendees to use their phone/device to playback a video (accessible via QR code) to create an environment in which the artist will tell a story from a recent experience with a population of California tree frogs in the San Gabriel mountains. Audience participation is intended to foster community thinking; not only between us as individuals but also with the various other life forms whose needs intersect with ours. How can we imagine new ways of thinking about our environment while acknowledging our complicity in its destruction? What does interspecies learning look like? What is love and how can we sustain it? Does evolution favor competition or interdependence? What is in the water and is it making the frogs gay?
