A couple of quick updates! This past summer I took part in a residency at The Soil Factory in Ithaca, NY, and it revitalized my practice in fantastic ways and pushed my work forward, in particular my focus around eco-focused practices. You can learn more about my activities on my recently rebooted blog: https://www.lyngoeringer.com/blog/
In late June, I was awarded a Catalyst Grant through Johns Hopkins University. This will be my primary focus over the next year, while I work on developing a portable wave field synthesis speaker array, and work towards my newest installation project tentatively titled “finally it was just me and the katydids”. This installation will investigate closely the relationship between humans and insects through the development of an immersive interactive environment. The title is from the poem “Daddy out Hitchhiking at 3:00 am” by poet John Balaban, available in his book Passing through the Gate.
I will post updates on this project as it progresses through my blog and newsletter (forthcoming), and will post links to significant updates here to make it easier to keep up with it.
