Two visual poems contributed to Pa-pag-page by Christian Vistan - “Dear Listener, How do voices build an architectural space? The structure is unresolved and cacophonous, at times unstable and permeable.Eavesdropping through the thin pages of the walls. Fragmented talk textures the audible blue print. Yours, Writer. September 8-Otober 17, 2018. #overheard: inversion study I”

“Dear Reader, I tried to situate your breath on a landscape of voices transcribed and strung in continuity. Inhale and exhale. The sentence runs on and over the edges of the page…Yours,Writer. September 8-October 17, 2018. #overheard: inversion study II”

lilithlithlithlithlith | emf movement studies https://www.facebook.com/events/1971945183056920/ EMF movement studies is an open research event and collaboration between Elisa Ferrari and Justine Chambers as part of lilithlithlithlithlith. Elisa and Justine will visit the Murrin substation located at 721 Main Street in Vancouver. Wearing handheld devices for electromagnetic listening, they will move through the electrical ambience of the substation to create a speculative and subjective record of how sound might conscript and/or inscribe movement into their bodies. Those who would like to contribute to this experiment are invited to participate as witnesses and observing bodies, and accompany Elisa and Justine for the duration of the study (approx. 30 mins). The event will end with tea and a conversation at Selectors’ Records at 8, East Pender St. Please note that this event may pose problems to individuals with mobility limitations; contact [email protected] for more information about accessibility. --+-=≡Σ((( ・ ├┬┴┬┴ヽ｀ヽ・｀、┌iii┐ζ|||ζ ヽ‿︵‿︵╮╯╮彡ノ lilithlithlithlithlith interrogates power/energy infrastructures, their frequency emissions, and their sites.
