Three frogs sit on wet grass, but we are not sure if it is actually grass, or if they could actually be frogs because they have so much hair. They also dance.
Samuel Hertz is a Berlin-based sound-artist and researcher working at the intersections of psychoacoustics and expanded listening practices whose work and research has recently been presented in France, Germany, Belgium, Austria, Sweden, the UK, and the US. As a recipient of the 2017 DARE Prize for Radical Interdisciplinarity (University of Leeds/Opera North: Leeds, UK), his current research concerns affective crossings between humans and environment, ecological soundings, and geophysical/atmospheric infrasonic sound.

She is working in dance performance and continues to be deeply invested in the politics of alternative modes of artistic collaboration, curation, and social organizing.
