Rachel Lodge: Transfigurations: Carbon Flow
In April 2021, Jack Straw and Arts and Visually Impaired Audiences (AVIA) presented an accessible online art workshop in conjunction with Rachel Lodge’s installation, Transfigurations: Carbon Flow. The installation combines animated video with a soundscape of music and sound effects. Participants experienced Lodge’s work through a virtual excerpt of the installation, with audio description provided by Jesse Minkert of Arts and Visually Impaired Audiences.
After sharing her process and inspiration for creating Transfigurations: Carbon Flow, participants used their voices and household objects to record words and sounds inspired by nature to create a new soundtrack to accompany Lodge’s installation. Participants also learned about audio editing and mixing using digital software to create their piece.
