Elisa Ferrari works with sound, performance and writing. Her practice and collaborations are concerned with memory formations, idleness, sonic sediments, translingual ecologies, somatic inquiries and the infra- & ultrasonic. She hosts aux-sends—a quarterly radio series about experimental music, sound and poetics—on Vancouver Co-op radio. She lives as an uninvited guest in Vancouver on unceded xʷməθkʷəy̓əm, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh territories, and in Brescia, Italy, where she was born.

This project considered the complex interrelation of land use history, power production and daily life. During a residency at Western Front, at the invitation of curator Allison Collins, I researched the electric energy distribution in Vancouver as an experiment in making audible settler colonial energy infrastructures, and the ubiquity of human-made electromagnetic fields.
Elisa was supported with an Elektrouši microphone and an Elektrosluch DIY kit through LOM+you 2017 call.
