David McFarlane (TMU) – How we might come to understand the Great Lakes as animated actors in their own rights, with their own unique subjectivities?

David’s research-creation project draws on his experiences as a musician and visual artist, to employ sonic data gathering techniques such as biodata sonification and field recordings, alongside embodied and Indigenous-informed research methodologies in order to undertake a co-created artistic acoustic ecology with the Great Lakes.
