About this Project

Frequencies for Darwin takes the form of a small theater that contains a voice activated, vibrational instrument. The installation contains a participatory sculptural object that harks back to the parlor games of the 19th century. The work invites the viewer to sit and speak into the microphone to communicate with the common earthworm. The glass jar contains approx. 1000 red wiggles (a variety of earthworm), who, with time will move in response to the vibration of the glass. The work is inspired in part by the experiments of Charles Darwin with worms and vibration as discussed in his seminal book "The Formation Of Vegetable Mould, Through The Actions of Worms".
We have much in common with the earthworm. Worms respond to vibration, such as the patter of rain or the pecking of the birds on the earth. Humans also communicate with vibration, via the vibrating folds of the larynx, and the vibration of sound transmitted through the air. In this way, Frequencies for Darwin becomes a metaphoric tableau for understanding between species.
