EcoScience+Art invites you to join a very special evening with internationally acclaimed eco-artist Aviva Rahmani.

Aviva is passionate about the natural environment. Her practice is about damage to, conservation and restoration of ecosystems. Blued Trees Symphony works with nature, to effect climate change policy. What is special about this process, is how knowledge systems about paint, sound, the judicial process, and ecology, are integrated into a synesthetic aesthetic to halt natural gas pipeline expansions.

Each length of installation is a 1/3 mile measure of music made of “tree-notes,” painted with a non-toxic casein of ultramarine blue and buttermilk, to make a vertical sine wave on each tree-note. The distribution is aerially visualized as objects that correspond to musical lines in space. Additionally, individual trees are being painted as a Greek Chorus. Cumulatively, all the tree-notes comprise a larger symphony, copyrighted for protection, extending across the globe.
