What if the greatest adventure was happening just a few centimetres from your feet? Join us for a fascinating walk through the Prosperpolder nature reserve and enter the hidden world of insects. Walking in pairs, one person follows and photographs these tiny creatures while the other maps their movements by drawing, revealing surprising patterns. Along the way you’ll sharpen your powers of observation, and at the end we’ll identify the species together using digital tools. This experience combines walking, creativity, science and wonder for all ages.
Your guide into the world of the smallest will be Fred Adam (France), a sensory artist whose work brings together art, technology and nature.
Don’t forget to bring a magnifying glass and your phone.

+1 Topogestures: Reflections on walking performance, poetry and technology
This presentation reflects on the concept of topogesture which is a methodological distillation emerging from the author’s artistic practice over the last decade, within the remedial convergences of walking performance, poetry, and technology. Etymologically viewed, such a neologism is created as an oscillation between place (topos) and gesture (cheironomia), aiming to underscore how the artistic act invests meaning into and derives meaning from

From Salt to Albanyà and along the Muga River, the Assembly foregrounds water, movement, attention, walking and being together in place as pedagogical forces.
