Pollination Ecology Expressed through Art: The Collaborative Creation
of
"Resonating Bodies - Bumble Domicile" Integrated Media Installation
A talk by Professor Laurence Packer, Sarah Peebles and Rob King
‘Resonating Bodies - Bumble Domicile’ was the first of a series of art installations
and projects focusing on biodiversity of bees indigenous to the Greater Toronto Area.
Bumble Domicile highlighted distinct features of local bumble bees through an
observation hive, garden, visual and audio transformations, scent, touch, and biological
information. Created by artists Sarah Peebles, Rob King, Rob Cruickshank and Anne Barros
in collaboration with Canadian and U.S. biologists Laurence Packer, Stephen Buchmann,
Jessamyn Manson and Peter Hallett, the installation premiered at Toronto's *new* gallery
in 2008 (co-presented by InterAccess and NAISA). We will discuss our collaborative process,
how research on bee biology, pathogen transmission and pollination ecology informed the
project, how bumble bee health issues presented us with challenging decisions, and
ongoing ‘Resonating Bodies’ works (resonatingbodies.wordpress.com).
Saturday May 8, 12pm – 4pm (one day only!)

(Rob Cruickshank, electronics; John Kuisma, log fabrication)
Many species of solitary, wild bees (and wasps) nest in vacated beetle
bores and other pre-formed cavities, and are critical pollinators.
“Deluxe Log” is a free-standing modified log which provides habitat
and incorporates a weather-resistant observation panel, vibrational
sensors (acting as microphones), custom-built circuitry, headphones
and
magnifying lens which, combined, provide a magnified, immersive
environment in which to observe these
pollinators in all stages of
their
life cycles.
