Dreaming-mind

Dreaming-mind is all about connecting abstract and tangible knowledge using metaphors in "...images, dance, song, language, culture, objects, ritual, gestures and more. Feedback loops between the worlds must be completed with practical actions". (Yunkaporta, 2019, p.171)

Back stories

"Euphausia superba (Antarctic krill) begins to tell her story, inspired by the story told by scientist Rob King. I improvise with water on a Chinese calligraphy mat as I imagine Euphausia beginning life in the Southern Ocean. Sounds are improvisations by animators Arca, Bonnie and Xanthe, from the Victorian College of the Arts, 2019."
