To Cleanse the River

In an impending dystopian future, a remarkable tool will emerge alongside mushrooms and algae, dedicated to breaking down debris and plastic in our waterways.

This tool employs sound frequencies to dissolve waste and even alleviate bodily ailments. (Not) oddly enough, its resonance resembles that of a pre-American water whistle. The solutions to our forthcoming environmental and spiritual challenges seem to lie in artifacts stored within museums. Yet, these are not relics of the past but rather technologies from ancient times, poised to aid us in the present.

Conclusion: It’s time to bring these instruments out of museums and let them perform their vital roles once again.

Come with me on August 18th. As we move from the confines of the gallery to the flowing river, where we will embrace, gather, tune, align, and dissolve through the power of sound.
