Curatorial Mutiny and Vision Forum are organising an 5 day workshop in Tunis and Bizerte in Tunisia April 9-13, 2025. During the workshop the team will develop the project “Do Trees Dream of CO2” with their Tunisian partners.
“In our working process we focus primarily on trees’ and their inner signalling. We use the PepiPIAF technology to measure changes in their inner. This non-invasive technology is attached to a branch of a tree. It measures the changes in pressure and temperature inside the actual tree, based on how sap moves. It shows how a tree adapts itself to changes of temperature, season, and daily rhythm. From these measurements we can derive information about how the tree grows and to a certain degree how it adapts to outside changes. You can find more info about the PepiPIAF here. (In French only.) We also record the sounds that the tree makes as it grows using specially designed microphones. These sounds are then modulated by the data from the tree and by human digital musical tools.”
During the workshop the Franco-Swedish team will work will artists Soufia Bensaid and Hela Lamine. A public presentation will be held outside Bizerte on April 12. The program starts at 14h. Please drop us an e-mail (info [at] visionforum.eu) if you want to join. Participation is free, but the number of places limited.
Do Trees Dream of CO2 is supported by Kulturbryggan.
