Field Station Workshop

Antony Hall is an interdisciplinary artist and researcher based in Manchester. Collaborating with scientists on long term research projects Halls work considers human experience across a broad range of subjects, from communication signals of electrogenic fish and the phenomenology of hallucination, to listening the sound of moss and ecological surveys.

Field Station is a mobile ecological laboratory towed by a bicycle. It will be used for a series of interventions and pop-up wildlife recording surveys that aim to enhance perceptions and draw attention to the unnoticed and sometimes invisible non-human inhabitants of the urban environment. Field Station set up at various 'sites of special moss interest' SSMIs (TBC) around Doncaster within cycling distance of Artbomb. SSMIs will be defined according to their specific micro-environmental and ecological diversity. SSMI may include pavement walls or lamp posts, for example. Through the process, I hope to encounter incidental audiences who will help me map these sites, collect samples and make terrariums, which will then be displayed at Artbomb.
