I Want to leave this earth behind, Nuit Blanche 2024
Diana Lynn VanderMeulen * Stefana Fratila * Miriam Arbus
“I want to leave this Earth behind” is a multisensory project by Stefana Fratila and Diana Lynn VanderMeulen which centres on outer space exploration, speculative-fictive realities, and Crip futurity.
Considering landscape through the lens of new technologies, “I want to leave this Earth behind” explores the flora, fauna, sounds and textures of a science-fictive and technicolour Earth. Insects and birds are highlighted as sound emitters, while environmental characteristics like thunder, rain, and ocean waves spatialized to create an immersive sensory experience. Notably, through an artist creation residency with Society for Arts and Technology (SAT) in Montreal, the duo developed a 40 minute A/V dome show also entitled “I want to leave this Earth behind”.
For the Toronto premiere of this project at Nuit Blanche, they will be presenting an adapted version in an immersive 40,000 square foot space, featuring a 12-channel sound and multi-channel projection system specifically formatted to the 45 by 230 foot walls of the old Toronto stock exchange.
