V sklopu projekta BioAwaking, ki ga podpira Ustvarjalna Evropa, smo partnerji v preteklih dveh letih v regiji Zahodnega Balkana na razstavah in študijskih obiskih predstavili umetniške prakse avtorjev, ki raziskujejo žive sisteme in v svoje delo vključujejo biomedije, ter skozi delavnice in diskurzivni program delili izkušnje, znanje in veščine, potrebne za zagotavljanje produkcijskih pogojev za razvoj in produkcijo tovrstnih umetniških projektov.

Ob zaključku projekta BioAwaking na Kersnikovi pripravljamo delavnico Nastje Ambrožič in projekcijo kratkega filma, ki povzema dogajanje v sklopu projekta, partnerji pa bomo zavezo za nadaljnje sodelovanje balkanske mreže, s katero populariziramo omogočamo predstavljanje sodobnih raziskovalnih umetniških praks, utrdili s simbolno gesto zasaditve izbranih redkih ali ogroženih drevesnih vrst v regiji. Kersnikova bo črni hrast oz. črniko (Quercus ilex) kot enega glavnih predstavnikov mediteranske flore, ki ga najdemo pretežno v primorskem delu Slovenije, zasadila v Novi Gorici v sodelovanju z iniciativo Zelene točke in gibanja (Univerza v Novi Gorici), ki v okviru EPK GO! 2025 poudarja nujnost vzpostavitve zelenih con v urbanem okolju in skrbi za trajnostni prostorski razvoj somestja obeh Goric.

Te zanima, kako skozi elektrode prisluhnemo sapici, praproti, pulzu micelija, spremembam napetosti, ki potujejo skozi liste, naša telesa in hife?

Delavnica ‘Zvočni prenosi Gaje’ pod vodstvom Nastje Ambrožič vabi k poslušanju več-kot-človeškega sveta skozi bioelektrične signale, ki jih z uporabo DIY bio‑data sintetizatorja pretvarjamo v zvok. Navdih za delavnico izhaja iz navdušenja skladatelja Johna Cagea nad glivami in njegovega prepričanja, da se lahko od narave učimo – ne le z opazovanjem, temveč tudi s pozornim poslušanjem. Na delavnici se bodo udeleženke_ci najprej seznanili z osnovami elektrofiziologije, nato pa sami sestavili bio‑data sintetizator avtorja Sama Cusumana – napravo, ki zaznava spremembe električne prevodnosti živih organizmov ter jih pretvarja v zvočne impulze. V sklepnem delu delavnice sledi poslušanje biosignalov v živo z metodo globokega poslušanja (deep listening).

Delavnica temelji na ekofeminističnem pristopu, ki aktivno raziskuje medvrstne soodvisnosti ter možnosti za skrb in stalno prisotnost s pomočjo izbranih visokotehnoloških orodij. Tehnologija nam na ta način omogoča razširjeno zaznavanje, s katero lahko vidimo nevidno in slišimo neslišno, ter nas s tem opolnomoča, da bolje dojemamo razsežnosti živih sistemov.

As part of the BioAwaking project, supported by Creative Europe, the project partners have, over the past two years, presented across the region—through exhibitions and study visits—the artistic practices of authors who explore living systems and incorporate biomedia into their work. Through workshops and discursive programmes, we have shared experiences, knowledge, and skills essential for establishing the production conditions necessary for the development and realisation of such artistic projects.

At the conclusion of the BioAwaking project, Kersnikova is organising a workshop led by Nastja Ambrožič and a screening of a short documentary film summarising the project’s activities. The partners will reaffirm their commitment to continued cooperation within the Western Balkan network, which promotes and enables the presentation of contemporary investigative artistic practices, through a symbolic gesture—the planting of selected rare or endangered tree species across the region. In collaboration with the Green Points and Movements initiative, led by the University of Nova Gorica, Kersnikova will plant a holm oak (Quercus ilex) in Nova Gorica — a tree that is a key representative of Mediterranean flora and can be found in Slovenia’s coastal region. The initiative, within the framework of the European Capital of Culture Nova Gorica/Gorizia (EPK GO! 2025), emphasises the importance of establishing green zones in urban environments and contributes to the sustainable spatial development of the cities of Nova Gorica (Slovenia) and Gorizia (Italy).

Are you curious how we can listen—through electrodes—to the breeze, a fern, the pulse of mycelium, to changes in voltage traveling through leaves, our bodies, and hyphae?

The workshop ‘Gaia’s Sonic Transmissions’, led by Nastja Ambrožič, invites participants to listen to the more-than-human world through bioelectrical signals, which are transformed into sound using a DIY bio data synthesizer. The workshop draws inspiration from composer John Cage’s fascination with fungi and his belief that we can learn from nature—not only through observation but also through attentive listening.

Participants will first become acquainted with the basics of electrophysiology, then assemble their own bio data synthesizer, designed by Sam Cusumano—a device that detects changes in the electrical conductivity of living organisms and converts them into sonic impulses. In the final part of the workshop, participants will engage in live listening of biosignals through the method of deep listening.

The workshop is grounded in an ecofeminist approach, actively exploring interspecies interdependencies and possibilities for radical care and sustained presence through selected high-tech tools. In this way, technology enables an expanded perception that allows us to see the invisible and hear the inaudible, empowering us to better understand the dimensions of living systems.
