FOREST FLUX FREQUENCY / Multimedia Performance + Ecological Art
FOREST / FLUX / FREQUENCY is a performance piece by NMSA students Rafael Zen + Omar Khalil that speculates a future when nature can only be accessed through simulations. A bug and a tree whisper: we must have the courage to be radically alive.
Supported by ECU's Basically Good Media Lab, FOREST / FLUX / FREQUENCY is a sound/noise performance by New Media + Sound Art students Rafael Zen and Omar Khalil that speculates a future when nature can only be accessed through projections, electro-mimicry, and simulations through live performance, experimental + improvisational music, DIY electronics and multimedia installation. A conversation between a bug and a tree spark soundscapes that often whisper: we are all so vulnerable, but we must have the courage to be radically alive.

PAST CRITICAL REVIEW for FOREST/FLUX/FREQUENCY
“This piece is a post-apocalyptic take on ecology, this idea that nature no longer exists in the future and can only be accessed through videos, projections and electronics. However, while still pessimistic, it is also extremely beautiful and even brings moments of great humor” – Mark Takeshi McGregor, artistic director of SUM Gallery, for Outlook TV in November 2024
