‘Hum’, which remains on display at Spike Island until Sunday 18 September, sees creator Amitai Romm exploring the relationship between nature and technology.
Romm focusses his work on speculating on the hybrid relationships that can be formed between plant life, sensors, data collection processes and our own human bodies.
‘Hum’ emits sounds taken from a data measuring station in Denmark – one that produces one of the world’s oldest continuous datasets of carbon sequestration – at a low frequency – not so loud that anything is discernible to the ear but enough for the body to sense.
Thinking expansively about how we consume and interpret data, ‘Hum’ casts a critical view on the systemisation of our natural environment and encourages us to think differently about our impact upon it.
On Thursday 15 September, artist Amitai Romm will join Andreas Ibrom and Robert Leckie for an online deep dive into the thinking behind ‘Hum’ before taking questions from the audience, giving attendees rare insight into the exhibition.
Booking is essential. More details about this event and the exhibition can be found on Spike Island’s website.
