In Labyrinthitis, Kirkegaard employs otoacoustic emissions (low-level sounds emitted by the cochlea in response to auditory stimulus). Emissions generated by the artist’s ears produce otoacoustic emissions in the ears of the listeners. In this way, Labyrinthitis reframes hearing as an active sense rather than a passive one and positions the ear itself as an instrument.

All welcome.

One of the best ways to fight plastic pollution is to guard against it entering our waterways in the first place.  Please join us for the Blackstone Park Shoreline Cleanup. Dress in clothes you don't mind getting a little dirty, and wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes. Children under 16 should bring an adult. We will provide trash bags and disposable gloves. Please feel free to bring your own work gloves if you have them, and your own reusable bottle of water. You can assist us in planning by registering at http://cleanup.rsvpify.com
