THE WILD SENSE


A 2 hour performance with intermission, by Jim Nollman and Janus Kober. Their show incorporates song, film, text, and digital art forms to explore the perceptions — practical, sacred, political, aesthetic — we learn to move through wilderness and relate respectfully to nature. Jim Nollman is the director of interspecies.com, author of Why We Garden and The Beluga Cafe, and performer of underwater concerts created from whale sounds with the audience floating in a swimming pool. He has been interacting musically with whales in the wild for 30 years. Janus Kober is a former San Francisco DJ, musician in techno-inspired groups including the Knobs and Quake Trap Collective, who currently directs multimedia for the Friday Harbor Whale Museum. Their Belly of the Whale Project was recently featured in a sound installation at Japan EXPO.
