You are invited to the first PostMobility production of the year (from the GO! 2025 bid book), which will take place on Tuesday 23 May, at Majske poljane and around the railway station in Nova Gorica. It will be possible to experience a sound walk on both sides of the tracks and take part in a sound programme at sunset.
At the heart of this intermedia artwork is the concept of empathy and solidarity in coexistence with more-than-human entities. As a counterpoint, the artist highlights the importance of one’s awareness of the environment one shares with the Other, encouraging critical reflection on its ecological vulnerability.
The concept of the annual cycle AnimotMUZIK, curated by Katarina RADLJAC, is based on direct interspecies musical improvisation between humans and other non-human animal species. Performing artists, together with the inhabitants of the natural environment, will create joint ecological events, which will be accompanied by an introductory lecture.
The workshop is intended for professional musicians (vocalists and/or acoustic instrumentalists). The goal of the workshop is to present the field of interspecies communication and musical improvisation between humans and other non-human animal species.

The work will consist of a multi-channel sound composition and a stone installation that will act as a simple stone instrument.
Sonic Ontology of negligence is the third sound work in a series of 4 selected works as part of a collaboration between the Steklenik gallery and the Sežana Botanical Gardens. The work is a continuous research evolving from listening to abandoned places and landscapes reshaped by extensive intervention of human presence and exploitation, and eventually “given over“ to Nature to reclaim the space.
