My collaborator Robin Meier and I are at it again, this time with leafcutter ants.  Robin's been experimenting with the ants in a lab outside paris, while I explore how to build our colony of small friends a welcoming foraging scenario.  Below, a prezi of some notes we're taking.

 

This work will be presented at Palais de Tokyo in July of 2011.

I gave a lecture on "The Body of Iranian Contemporary Art" as a part of the "Shared Cultural Spaces" conference held at the University of Minnesota in February 2011, using the the prezi.com Prezi presentation below.  

I am indebted to the community of artists, some of whose work are included in this lecture, for providing me with the material and inspiration to pursue this research.
