‘Towards Field Station’ Podcasts

A set of three podcasts exploring art and ecology in Cornwall....

Equipped with binaural microphones and a voice mic, artist, pedestrian and writer Bram Thomas Arnold has recorded a series of walks taken during lockdown. Using a mixture of found sound, field recordings, ambient music, archive footage and spoken word, these recordings explore the art and ecology of Cornish landscapes and act as a structural framework to explore research into his current project Transecting the Lizard: Field Station. This aims to be a mobile field laboratory developing a new space for transdisciplinary research between and amongst the arts and sciences live in the field. A mobile field vehicle equipped with the necessary equipment to undertake baseline eco-logical surveys using both arts and scientific modes of thinking, over time blending and creating new forms of understanding that blur the disciplinary lines between ecology, art and place.
