But not the Edinburgh Fringe (which opens shortly), but the Edinburgh Arts Festival!
I was honoured to join in an event with the Mexican artist, Arial Guzik, organised by the Arts Catayst. Arial designs and produces mechanisms and instruments 'to enquire into the various languages of nature' and has long been interested in cetaceans. He is also a musician, draftsman and illustrator and director of the Nature Expression and Resonance Research Laboratory in Mexico, an organisation which explores natural resonance, mechanics, electricity and magnetism and how these phenomena can be applied to music and sound experiments.
Arial was exhibiting an underwater resonance instrument designed to communicate with whales and dolphins in the deep seas.
My role was to contribute to a discussion with Arial about cetaceans and their abilities to communicate and perceive the world around them, and the problems that we are creating by adding our noise to the oceans. Arial's work is helping to draw attention to all these issues..
