"Biodivergent Sites and Sounds" (BSS) immerses audiences in a neurodivergent (ND) space where nature is experienced as a living "being," evoking resonance through vulnerability and openness. Participants "become" the canal, embodying pollution through stimming, (a divergent "go-to" when the world is too sensory-overloading; repetitive movements and motions. In turn, participants create a deep, sensory connection with their surroundings. This approach makes the climate crisis tangible and engages participants in a dialogue that transcends traditional environmental narratives.

The collaboration within BSS, featuring ND artists, my leadership and direction in collaboration with a ND creative technologist, generates new knowledges and cross-disciplinary processes. By using autistic stimming as a transformative artistic tool and methodology, BSS shows how artistic research can innovate and inspire across sectors, enhancing skills and awareness. This transferability of experience is central to resonance, extending the project's impact beyond the installation.

BSS also addresses the conflict and crisis inherent in ND experiences within a neuronormative system/structure. BSS embodies the uncanny, reflecting the lived reality of ND individuals, evoking understanding/cooperation between ND and neurotypical worlds.

The project employs counterfactual thinking through surreal and symbolic imagery, challenging conventional narratives and opening new possibilities. By blending reality with dream worlds, BSS invites participants to engage with the ND space and "what if" scenarios, inspiring transformative change.

Integrating ancestral senses with contemporary concerns, BSS resonates with current cultural & environmental needs. The project’s material culture reflects these needs, creating a time-based artistic experience that deepens participants' sense of belonging. Over time, BSS becomes a resonant, transformative experience, embodying the essence of resonance.
