About the artist-in-residence: Tosca Terán describes herself as an interdisciplinary, human holobiont whose work is a confluence of art, ecology, and craft. Her works have been featured at The Harwood Museum, SOFA New York, The Toronto Design Exchange, MOCA Toronto, The Ontario Science Centre, Music Works, Vector Festival, DubLab's Sound Science, SONICA21, Glasna Music Magazine, The Mushroom UK, NAISA (New Adventures In Sound Art), Ars Electronica, The Venice Film Festival VR, AMAZE/Berlin, and The Raindance Film Festival. Her Mycelium Martian Dome Project was cited by NASA Ames Research center's Mycotecture Off-Planet. Awarded funding support and residencies from the Goethe-Institut Montreal, The Canada Arts Council, BigCi Environmental Award Australia, Ontario Arts Council, the Toronto Arts Council, and Coalesce Centre for Biological Art at SUNY Buffalo for her immersive, nonhuman, often fungal, biodata projects. Tosca feels that one of the most dangerous diseases of humankind is the inability to imagine the world from another person, animal, and/or plant's perspective. Her work in nonhuman bio-sonification, fungal bio-materials, and immersive environments strive to overcome these biases. www.nanotopia.net www.toscateran.com Instagram: @MothAntler Tosca Terán and Andrei Gravelle are interdisciplinary artist, musicians.
