lilithlithlithlithlith is a multimodal project that considers the complex interrelation of land use history, power infrastructures and daily life.
Through a series of actions, events and collaborations, lilithlithlithlithlith resulted in speculative documentation, movement studies, practicing collective listening, and a collection of wearables for electromagnetic sensing. lilithlithlithlithlith began in 2017 as part of a Media Arts residency at Western Front in Vancouver, on the unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh(Squamish), and səl̓ílwətaʔɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) First Nations.
