emixed is a deep listening experience about how we instigate change in our lives, communities, and world.
During the experience, listeners interact with our custom app on their personal mobile devices, and respond to questions that reveal each person’s relationship to change. Their responses to a series of playful questions reveal their relationship to change, which our purpose-built algorithm uses to craft a personalised digital experience within the app. Each participant receives a custom audio playlist and a custom visualisation of the plant life cycle that guides them through the piece.
Each playlist is composed of true stories of change interspersed with ambient audio, curated music, and narrative prompts. It is designed to invite deep listening and reflection about how change moves through participants’ own lives. Each story connects participants to a real person sharing an experience from their life, and evokes a sense of place, space, and presence. Weaving the personal with the collective, the stories range from personal to systemic change, and feature voices from around the world that reflect the full spectrum of transformation. There are 210,600 possible playlist variations.
Together, the installation and web app consider the coexistence of technology and nature as a singular ecosystem.
Remixed can be experienced remotely or in-person. Both versions are currently touring, visiting theatres, galleries, and non-traditional venues across Canada.
