An explosion of biohybrid technologies is bringing our bodies and brains online. What happens when we're all connected? Groupthink gives a glimpse into a future where art emerges from the heart.

Breathe to flow
Anna Nacher
The way we, as humans, participate in the vibrational fields and flows of energy of the Planet Earth is embodied practice, even if the process often remains somewhat mysterious, unnoticed or unacknowledged. This workshop will explore how a human vocalization, which is nothing else than amplified and conscious breathing, can become a practice of inquiry into the planetary water cycle.
Journey
