The Initiative is to conceive of, set-up and develop an art, architecture and ecology project.

The project will involve the creation of new garden-farm environments in which site-specific live arts will be created and receive an audience.

The research and practice directions of the Initiative are guided by transdisciplinary research:

  • bio-physics, acoustics, sound art
    and ecology
  • landscape, media & interactive architecture and sustainability
  • live art practice and performance research
  • philosophy and critical studies

Research and development has been facilitated through an intensive schedule of live art practice sessions involving in situ exploration at contrasting gardens, parks and other outdoor landscape environments; and through the Artist Review Series – six symposia events at Goldsmiths College, London.

The current focus of project work is on developing the Site Pilot Project concept and implementation.

Main activities have included:

  • experimentation and piloting
    of ideas
  • research, development and presentation of new work
  • creation and production of publications and resources
  • prospective site visits and feasibility assessments
  • business/organisation start-up research and consultation
  • short and long-term planning
  • fundraising
  • developing the Informal Collective (a network of practitioners interested in the Initiative’s project)
