FETA in collaboration with The Bridge Miami present a festival of participatory experiences in which the Multicultural Nomadic Piano requests your presence as a creator of its physical and sonic pathways. You will construct, create, perform and observe.

Once upon a time, there manifested a piano navigating outdoor spaces over land, under water and in the air. This summer, Troy Rogers engineered a platform with an upright piano for The Committed Duo (Jennifer Beattie and Juraj Kojs) to perform while floating on the Lake Superior during the exquisite Sub Superior Fest in Duluth, MN. During the performance, the piano wished to be partially submerged, bathed and celebrated.

On December 2, 3 and 4, the Multicultural Nomadic Piano designed by Rachel Weiss is beginning its travel on land. Developed by Rogers, a wheeled platform will carry the piano to its desired destinations. The Committed Duo and friends will co-voice a serenading odyssey Allapattah, Wynwood and Miami Beach neighborhoods.

But first: on November 30 (1-5PM), Troy Rogers will lead an outdoor platform construction workshop, including mechanical and electronic designs at the Bridge Miami.

On Friday, December 2, you are invited to a full day multidisciplinary experience in which you will create for and with the Multicultural Nomadic Piano. During the day, you will be guided by the piano and mentors from a variety of disciplines: Rubens Sales and Da Jin Kim (pianists), Troy Rogers (music and electronics), Rachel Weiss (voice), Nicole Martinez and Juraj Kojs (audio-visual electronics and the garden), Rodrigo Arcaya (visuals) and Pioneer Winter (movement). Whether individual or group project, the fresh creations will be presented at the event at 8PM. Includes music by Tim Watson, Craig Peaslee, Edward Shilts, Armando Torrealba and Joshua Muetzel. Water and snacks will be provided to the participants. Water and snacks will be provided to the participants.

Then, on Saturday, December 3, the Multicultural Nomadic Piano will travel with music through Allapattah and Wynwood in the afternoon led by the Committed Duo (Jennifer Beattie and Juraj Kojš). Meet us at the Bridge Miami at 2PM, or catch us when on a move.

The same night, from 8PM till midnight, the Multicultural Nomadic Piano will be sounding new music pieces composed by the Frost Electronic Music Ensemble (Alvin Phan, Da Jin Kim, Rubens Salles, Dallas Howard, Edward Shilts, Joshua Muetzel, Rodrigo Castro) conducted by Rachel Weiss at the Bridge Miami. Performances by Rat Bastard, Black Mayonnaise, Dialogues (Dion Kerr and Tim Watson) and Nicole Martinez will follow. Join the epic final jam.

On Sunday, December 4, the Multicultural Nomadic Piano asked for a trip to Miami Beach. It will be led by the Committed Duo (Jennifer Beattie and Juraj Kojš).

The piano will return to the Bridge to be ceremonially placed in the garden where it will await the future poets.

About Alba Triana:

Alba Triana is a Colombian-born sound and intermedia artist. Through immersive installations, sound and light sculptures, and vibrational objects, Alba’s work explores the relationship between our human condition and the essence of the natural world. Delving into vibration, energy, interconnectedness, and nature’s self-organization, Triana’s oeuvre probes how the vitality of everything, the alive and inert, greatly determines who we are and what emerges from ourselves.

Alba has received the Civitella Ranieri Fellowship (Italy/US), South Arts State Fellowship (FL, US), and was the winner of awards in Colombia such as IDCT National Composition Contest, National Electroacoustic Music Contest, “Otto de Greiff” National Contest, and Alliance Française Best Exhibition 2008. She has obtained commissions, residences, and grants from Pro Helvetia (Switzerland), Kronos Quartet, Oolite Arts (US), GMEB (France), and the Ministry of Culture (Colombia).

Her work has been shown at 104, Biennale des Arts Numériques de Paris (France), Orange County Museum of Art (CA, US), CMMAS (Mexico), International Symposium of Electronic Arts, and Museum of Modern Art of Bogota (Colombia), among others. It belongs to art collections in Europe, Latin America, and the US, including the Otazu Collection and the Banco de la República de Colombia collection.

The Bridge Miami and FETA invite you to participate in

If I only had a garden…

People, plants, and the opossum play.

An exploratory collaborative art and garden-making experience.

March 14-18, 2022

4-9 PM

The Bridge Miami: 4220 NW 7th Ave, Miami, FL 33127

Spring is in the air, and FETA has historically organized a festival with performances for live and virtual audiences. This year, however, we are fantasizing about a shared experience in which everybody participates.

We invite you to imagine a public garden with us—an outdoor place in which plants, arts and technologies grow together intertwined by collective dynamic imagination. Dream it. Make it. Together.

During the week of experimental outdoor art making and community building, we will meet 4-9PM and design a living prototype for the garden at the Bridge, focusing on the interaction between emergence, passing and sustainability through the lens of the plantological exploration.

Participatory activities, listening sessions, collaborative gardening, construction of structures, and tech-art making will be guided by the garden itself. Daily sharing sessions will begin at 8PM.

Join us. Participate. Learn. Play.

The week will be guided by the iconic Sonocybernetic creator Onyx Ashanti (MI), musical robot maker Troy Rogers (MN), projection master Daniel Benoit (MN), wired-less sonic technologist Alex Lough (NJ), urban community designer Hanah Davenport (NJ),  the artphibian orchid whisperer Juraj Kojš (FL), experimental electronic music impresario Nicole Martinez (FL), Insta musicologist Nevena Stanic-Kovacevic (FL), tarot reader and the Life sage Betzaida Ferrer (FL), the linguistic architect Nadia Naami (FL), creative production guru Luisa Buitrago (FL), augmented reality film and video voyager Juan Carlos Zaldivar (FL), transcdisiplinary multi-modal story teller Dimitry Chamy (FL), the beauty-beyond-the-mainstream choreographer Pioneer Winter (FL)  and the garden architecture luminary Maria Isabel Rodriguez (FL).

If you’d like, bring something to honor the garden such as a plant cutting or an article that would fit our outdoor setting.

Creator sign up for any of the following dates (4-9PM).

It is important that you are present for the whole duration of the session.

Select one and send us your info at [email protected] as soon as you can and no later than March 12, 2022.
