LANDSCAPE

Design & Education Wing

We are the landscapes we live in. We are connected to eco-temporal techno materialities beyond belief and reason. The cities we live in are not inevitabilities; each place is an ideological construct. Cinland does all that is within our power through the task of design and the mask of art to alter the world for more fair and free public space art constructs.

Cinland explores cities and stories—about home and water, through sound and walking in order to form new fair future visions. Cinland’s action-based landscape architecture & art research methods combines the model of an architecture studio, a contemporary art & design research practice, and an indoor/outdoor public sound laboratory. Cinland takes a listening approach to people, places, and more than things. Cinland splits its attention between local design projects, like the city-wide walkfinding wayfinding system the Black Herstory Initiative. As well as with international art & design projects, like the making of:Super Bright. Cinland partners, collaborates, consults, and assembles international& local teams of experimental expert makers to meet project specific commissions and place specific clients.  Cinland partners have included city mayors & municipalities, like PerceivingAcademy, Thessaloniki; cultural institutions, faith-based partners, like Bio-SanctuarySacred Groves for Worship in an Era of Ecological Crisis; and art centered institutions & museums, as well as universities.

Cinland’s is a mobile public-research model that situates itself in downtown vacancy. We work at the scale of cross-generational walking paths, plazas, public arcades, parking lots, intersections, and standard sidewalks. Cinland stands for Cinema Landscape. Taking a cinematic approach to art & design means carefully approaching landscapes as language.As a multi-modal relationship primarily defined by sound, vision, and division.As visible and invisible coding systems that can adapt, improvise, and adapta gain. Cities as embodied seeing & hearing-impaired signs mixed with memory and invisibility. We are entangled in co-authored interspecies stories irreversibly altered by human’s perceptual outlook, past experiences, cultural expectations (personal preference), historic debt. Visible and invisible eco-temporal materialities meeting the power of your health, mood, money and motion. Our untold histories together,  

Wayfinding memorials, markers landscapes. Something about poltrageist landscapes… Cinland’s hope is to employ a team of 3-5 full-time in-house artist-designers. And continue to work withdowntown partners to develop Cinland’s indoor and outdoor spaces as avacancy-to-vibrancy city scalable art-infrastructure model.
