Purpose of the residency

During the residency a study will be conducted on the answer of Japanese bees to the sound stimulation generated by piano and other musical instruments. We will contact japanese beekeepers to open a dialogue with them and the natural life of bees, in order the subtle relationship between art and nature and its possibilities. Institutes of Science and Universities would be involved to reflect on questions generated by the artistic research.

New graphic scores will be produced during the research and during the residency in itself. A local location/space will be founded for the future sound and living installation. In that period of residency it will be activated a discussion, with the local communities, on contemporary sound art and its relation with the local nature represented by japanese bees.
