Meet the artist
Jol Thoms (b. Toronto) is an artist, sound designer, and researcher based in London, UK. His transdisciplinary fieldwork and critical audio/visual practices interrogate the Wests troubled relationships with Nature, Technology, and Cosmos by signalling beyond the purely measurable and quantifiable, and by thinking, feeling, and sensing with more-than-human worlds.
His compositions, lecture-performances, and educational experimentations emerge from site-based fieldwork in remote ‘landscape-laboratories’ situated at the forefront and intersection of experimental physics and environmental stewardship, where cosmic and planetary bodies become entangled as vast posthuman sensing arrays.
SciArt collaboration at JRC
Jol is currently looking into the nature restoration law, speaking with our researchers on biodiversity, soils, pollinators, large carnivores, Nature 2000, indigeneity, law and science. At DG Environment, he would just be in an exploratory mode to learn what colleagues are doing and how the organisation/work is structured, specifically in relation to the current focus on green Capital for the EU Green Week.
