Walking on a lichen

artistic research by Leonie Roessler and pantea

June - Walking on a Lichen is a collaborative research project between pantea, located in Barcelona, and Leonie Roessler, located in The Hague. The starting point and initial intention was the creation of a radio piece based on a pattern which is superimposed onto the map of Barcelona and the map of The Hague, determining points which the artists visit and field record. The superimposed structure is that of a Lichen, enlarged many-fold to span a 2.5 km radius around the homes of the artists in each respective city. During the month of June pantea and Leonie recorded all the source material for their pieces.

The project is now in full swing and the duo is busy with implementing ways of making the map interactive, structuring the radio pieces with all its possibilities of layering the cities, live mixing both locations, and further developing the concept adding other sonic communities to this project, e.g. Khammosh Sound Collective in Tehran. The map is built on StoryMAP with the courtesy of Sonic Tehran Network.
