Trail Mix[Ed]
A three part series by Bram Thomas Arnold, made for Exeter Arts & Culture which forms part of the R&D stage of “Field Station” - a mobile field laboratory for transdisciplinary research by Dr Bram Arnold with the Environment and Sustainability Institute at the University of Exeter. Episode 2: with community action group Wildlife Groundswell on the Lizard, Bram completed a Hedgerow Importance Test. This programme examines the basis of the rustle in the hedgerow and sees what can be found there, underneath the serpentine and the Dog Mercury, the enclosures act, the encroachment of three cornered leek and a foraged spring vinegar, amidst asking: What is the value of a hedgerow and how can citizen science lead us there? What is the value of biodiversity and how can we hold onto it in these ecologically fragmenting times?

Triangulation
Triangulation by Colin Black. From the sounds of the Arctic circle to the Australian desert and the many acoustic ecologies found between these points, Colin Black explores what he calls “sonic trigonometry,” which aims to challenge our concepts relating to the angles and distances between the chosen sound sites and elements. The goal is to evoke a type of geospatial perspective that investigates a re-contextualisation of place as not being fixed but rather in constant flux that regularly needs to be retriangulated. The goal of this “sonic trigonometry” is to transmute the notion of the insulated local ecology, so as to reconceptualise the local as a dynamic integral element that is intimately and ultimately connected to other global environments.
