🔥We're excited to continue our "Meet the Board Members" series! 🎉Today, we're spotlighting the absolutely phenomenal Nicole Sabella! 🌟 Rooted in Vienna and the limitless digital universe, Nicole masterfully fuses art, cultural science, and art education in her breathtaking creations.🎨🔬🏫

✨She elegantly employs performative strategies deeply steeped in q***r feminist ideologies and cooperative methodologies. Nicole's work dives headfirst into the swirling vortex of sociopolitical connections that exist between body, language, voice, sound, and space. 🌀💖

🎭 These elements converge in a cosmic dance, forming ever-evolving constellations she lovingly terms “choreo:spheres”. Fuelled by rhythm 🥁, humor 😂, and the captivating beauty of the 'glitch' or failure, she sculpts phygital performative sound installations, showcasing technology as both ally and adversary. 🎧💻

🎓 Nicole's academic journey is as rich as a baroque painting, studying Art History, Czech studies, and Middle and Eastern European History at University of Regensburg (Germany) and Masaryk University Brno (Czech Republic). She received her Master's crown in Fine Arts from the Academy of Fine Arts, Vienna (Austria) in 2016. 🏛️ From 2018 to 2020, she illuminated Art University Linz (Austria) as a University assistant and performance art lecturer. 💡🏫

🖼️Her latest masterpiece, the TENTECHULAR DIS:PLEASURES series, was spotlighted in solo exhibitions at Mz*Baltazar’s Lab, Vienna, and Periscope, Salzburg in 2021. 🌟 Her works have graced stages worldwide, from HART Hong Kong 🏯 to Battersea Arts Centre in London 🏙️, Prague Quadrennial 🌍, Impuls Tanz Festival in Vienna 💃, New Synagogue in Zilina, and even on the airwaves! 📻

🌐 Nicole’s art serves as a harmonious symphony of visual, performance, and sound art, intertwined with cultural science and art education. She champions co-creation, inviting others to join her in workshops and contribute to the final artistic vision. 👥 The TENTECHULAR DIS:PLEASURES series, closely connected to her alter ego SirenX, perfectly exemplifies this approach. 🎭

🌱Her mission is to nurture a deep, empathetic understanding among us and our shared environment, especially in the face of global crises related to social injustices, digitalization, and climate change. 🌍💔

📡Nicole’s work serves as a clarion call for "vibrational communication," heralding transformation through dialogue among humans and beyond, to all species. It's a unique, playful, poeto-political approach that envisions a world filled with greater understanding and compassion. 💖🌿🐾

MetaFarm, located in the Central West of NSW, Australia, is a case study farm that showcases the transformative power of regenerative agriculture. It draws inspiration from various methodologies, such as Permaculture, Natural Sequence Farming, Biodynamics, and Organicsand aims to restore degraded land into a thriving and profitable farm. Education and knowledge sharing are also emphasized, with plans for the construction of educational facilities to promote regenerative agriculture practices. The farm's innovative funding approach involves minting MetaTrees as NFTs on the blockchain, allowing individuals to contribute funds and actively participate in land restoration efforts.
The MetaTrees team, led by Teale Simmons and 'Regen Ray' Milidoni, is dedicated to driving the regenerative agriculture movement. Their expertise and passion align with Ars Techne Lab's commitment to subsistent farming practices. We recognize the value of MetaFarm's case study, educational initiatives, and funding approach, and seek collaboration to further develop subsistent technologies and practices in agriculture.
