Artists Giovanni Paolo Randazzo (Instagram: @giovannipaolorandazzo), Yiannis Kranidiotis (Instagram: @yanniskra) and Sam Nester (Instagram: @1snester) will be in residence at the JRC in Ispra next week (13/03 – 17/03) to probe, research and develop their proposal for Anthos - an immersive, interactive sound and light installation, controlled by the principles of the natural pollination system, demonstrated by a complex system.
Working with JRC colleagues Alba Bernini (complex systems), Irene Guerrero Fernandez (biodiversity) and Ana Montero Castaño (pollinators), this residency is being conducted in the framework of NaturArchy: Towards a Natural Contract.
Already curious and wanting to know more? Check out this initial video created for the project by Giovanni, Sam and Yiannis.
Don't miss the presentation and small demonstration by this group at the JRC on Friday March17th. The presentation will be hybrid in format and Webex attendance will be possible, details to be confirmed.

More about the project
Anthos is an immersive, interactive sound and light installation that highlights the importance of pollinators and demonstrates our anthropocentric effect on them. With a goal to uncovering potentially hidden secrets about the plant-pollinator network and its functions, this installation is designed on the principles of complex theory. The final work will be an ever-changing data visualisation/sonification model of pollinator systems with audience input options. Participants inside this installation will affect how the network behaves — changing the audio and visual outcome.
Background
Yiannis Kranidiotis’ artistic practice involves the use of light, motion and sound. Sam Nester is an Australian born, New York City based musician. Giovanni Paolo Randazzo is a multimedia artist based in Bogotá. Alba Bernini is an environmental engineer working on networks and epidemic models. Irene Guerrero Fernandez is a geoinformatician and agricuiltural ecologist. Ana Montero Castaño is an ecologist working in pollinators and pollination interactions. The group first met and connected at the SciArt Summer School on the topic of NaturArchy which took place in June 2022 at the JRC.
