COVID-19 has made breathing a struggle across the planet. This meditation turns our minds to nature's oxygen powerhouse.
About this event
80% of our oxygen is produced by plankton.
About the Online Meditation
This collective / distributed meditation is an online version of Noise Aquarium, which evolved during the pandemic and was first presented by the Laznia gallery in Gdansk, Poland. We are all interconnected and we all need air to breathe – no matter what our philosophical/ political stance.The invisible virus has turned our world upside down and we turn our attention to the micro-creatures that give us life. The Noise Aquarium installation is all about achieving inner balance in order to commune with plankton. Now that we cannot be there in body, we try to do the same by connecting online.
Victoria Vesna (New York) and Siddharth Ramakrishnan (Seattle) are joined by Anna Nacher (Slovakia), Rhiannon Catalyst (New York), John Brumley (Brighton, UK), and Ivana Dama and Clinton van Arman (Los Angeles) who will create a live binaural sonic layering on the animations of plankton by Martina Fröschl.
We invite participation from all across the world to breathe together in rhythm, as we listen and dive into the interconnected ecology of the collective mind and share frequencies of healing amidst all the noise.
How you can join in
All you need is an internet connection and headphones to participate in the online meditation. Put your headphones on (sound is binaural – we invite you to have an immersive experience). Enlarge your view to full screen. The visuals will keep you focussed on the sound.
COVID-19 Appeal
Victoria and Siddharth would like to draw your mind to the suffering in South Asia, caused by the lack of medical facilities, primarily the shortage of medical oxygen, in the fight against COVID-19. They have provided a list of organisations you could support to help in the effort to provide oxygen and other life-saving interventions.
