Keiko Uenishi is a sound art-i-vist, socio/environ composer, and a core member of SHARE.nyc since 2001. Uenishi is known for her works formed through experiments in restructuring and analyzing one's relationship through aural memory/perceptions in sociological, cultural, and/or psychological contexts. Her in-progress research project, Partitions: Dividers, Connectors, Gray-zones, Neighbours in Aural Space, is an exploration of a “para-sphere” where auditory stimuli sneak over other perceptions, while de-stabilizing relationships, memories, space recognitions, and time. Her other works include: Car décalé (légèrement), SOUNDLEAK: TheROOM (Simulation of neighbours) at Medien Kultur Haus, Wels, Austria, performative interpretation of Christian Marclaysʼ object score, Sixty-Four Bells and a Bow at Whitney Museum of Art. Uenishi is a co-creator of the project LandFilles with Katherine Liberovskaya, in which they investigate the usability of recyclable trash through artistic social actions and live performances. She also launched a project: Place Reimagined through Aural Memory in Taipei at Taipei Artist Village Treasure Hill and Bamboo Curtain Studio, Taipei, Taiwan, sponsored by Residency Unlimited that has continued to develop in Lido, Venice, Italy and in Andore Village, Rajasthan, India. Uenishi also is in a collaborative feedback unit "Emí no Izu" with Darryl Montgomery-Hell.

![July 7 Alien Star Dust
Victoria Vesna’s work has long focused on immersing audiences in installation spaces that are meant to slow down time and take us into other dimensions. This led her to work in close collaborations with musicians, sound artists, nanoscientists, biologists, neuro-scientists and buddhist monks among others. Some examples of work in the past two decades are the NanoMandala, Blue Morph, Octopus Brain Storming, Bird Song Diamond and most recently the Noise Aquarium. In this new work, together with her collaborators from the UCLA Art Sci collective and Harvestworks, she takes us on a meditative journey to outer space.
Premiering with the support of Harvestworks, this work is meant to be experienced as a guided meditation bringing to life the sensations of meteorites and micro-meteorites falling on all continents and mixing with the anthropogenic dust falling on our planet from many dimensions. Layers of sounds from inner and outer space with animations of dust and data driven by corona deaths are presented with the intent of honoring those who left their bodies without preparation and all who are suffering.
This online version was created as a meditation that is guided by the artist following the extra-terrestrial, terrestrial, and human-made dusts traveling far and wide and creating complexity that is part of an invisible reality. Most go about their daily life without being aware of ever thinking about the extraterrestrial dusts that could be on their kitchen floor, right here on earth. The alien signal is lost in the human noise and the group meditation reclaims our vision of planetary citizenship.
We are created from stardust by nuclear fusion, like our myriad siblings – animals, plants, insects, plankton, bacteria, and viruses, and we all function together in vibratory fields – bottom up just as nature and nanotechnology works. [Alien] Star Dust rains on us every day and this piece brings these particles to our attention and reminds us of our interconnected heritage in the larger cosmos. Dust knows no borders.
Headphones highly recommended.
