An audiovisual poem in five stanzas. What does it mean to have a body? What can a body do?

BEEWILDERED COMPANIONS is an immersive ethnographic study on the socio-material entanglements of humans and honeybees in times of globalized diseases. Triggered by the migration of a small bee parasite from Asia, the culture of beekeeping in Europe today is deeply shaken. The search for new and better practices is also a struggle of different imaginaries regarding the ontological status of the honeybee as domestic or wild. Can and should a serious disease be controlled by medication or breeding? Or is it better for humans to give up control, as in the long lost craft of tree beekeeping? Only in the deep forests of Bashkiria the tradition is still alive. The cultural appropriation of this knowledge in Central Europe could be an important pillar for a sustainable solution to the crisis. Three multisensory-observational and three plurivocal-discursive chapters juxtapose the diverging inner attitudes with the corresponding practices of animal care.

"Disconnect" is a video performance centered around the lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic. Made during quarantine, the work is about the yearning and the passing time that separates myself from natural space. The video starts on a single frame of a negative, lit from a lightbox. The negative is taken in the mountains in nature. At the time of recording, Quebec is still under lockdown and National and Provincial Parks are closed to the public. As an artist whose work is centered around nature, the environment, and the human relationship with nature, I have temporarily lost my muse. The act of layering squares of clear acetone over the negative, is the passing of time, until we lose touch with nature and natural space. The negative is barely visible under all the acetone that has been piled up.

"This film is a culmination of my meditations with objects, both with and without a camera present, in order to attempt 3 things: breaking down the binaries that separate me from the objects, destabilize my hierarchical position over the object, and to peer into the objects' history and their possible thoughts/emotions. The title is the combination of two essential reference points: Notes From Underground (Dostoevsky) and A Cyborg Manifesto (Haraway)." -Connor Parsley

A subtle movement of dancer’s arms invites three panels of film into one frame in this micro-symphony of sound and image in which the changing light evokes the passing of time. Human and non-human, interior and exterior co-exist in this highly improvisational yet serendipitous portrait of the forever-changing city of Seattle. Collaborating to subdivide a 16mm film frame into thirds, Caryn Cline, Linda Fenstermaker and Reed O’Beirne present their separately shot segments simultaneously within one spatial plane. From the interplay of these three points of view emerges a cinematic conversation based on a horizontal compositional logic within the shared frame. This combined connotative relationship between the subframes evokes a spectacle of fractured spatial and temporal perspective.

This essay film surveys the impact of digital technology through a variety of perspectives. Beginning at the neurological level, Binary Thinking examines how changes in the brain have outcomes that play out in human behavior, and in turn, our society at large. It’s hard to say what the future has in store, but it is clear that many of the fears reflected in early science fiction literature and cinema have already taken hold of our previously analogue world. Binary Thinking’s abstract representation of our shifting world ultimately reveals that what really makes us human could be at stake.
