Notes.
Host is an installation developed recently at the ‘SymbioticA’ Bio-Art and Technology Laboratory (University of Western Australia) in which an audience of live Crickets attend a lecture concerning the sex life of insects. The lecture, in the form of two DVD projections, has one sound track recorded directly from the speakers voice, whilst the other was recorded via the aural nerve of a Cricket. If nothing else, this installation is ample proof that our own sex lives are much less interesting than we suppose!!!

Music is a hidden arithmetic exercise of the soul, which does not know that it is dealing with numbers, because it does many things by ways of unnoticed conceptions, which with clear conceptions it could not do.
Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz.
