Since 2022, \u00bbField Trip\u00ab has been offering an adventure of going to a new place, an experience of being in a different environment, and an opportunity to experiment with ideas. Selected fellows have the chance to engage with researchers at MPI-AB, whose work focuses on a wide range of species from insects to birds, fish and mammals, both in the lab and in the natural settings, using cutting-edge technologies for tracking, data analysis and visualization.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u00bbField Trip\u00ab in Tal Chhapar Sanctuary in Rajasthan\/India<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe third iteration of the exchange taking place in 2024, marks a new chapter in the bilateral collaboration. Instead of undertaking a \u00bbField Trip\u00ab to the research campus in Konstanz, the selected fellow joined the team of project MELA (Mating ecologies of a lek-breeding antelope) for six weeks during their fieldwork in the Tal Chhapar Sanctuary in Rajasthan\/India. <\/strong>In turn, the artist together with a scientist from the team will spend six weeks at Akademie Schloss Solitude in Stuttgart during fall of the same year.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe collaborating institutions are excited to announce that writer Simar Preet Kaur<\/span><\/a>, based in the Indian Himalaya, joined the team of project MELA during their fieldwork from February to March 2024 in the Tal Chhapar Sanctuary. Kaur will be writing a short fiction inspired by her conversations with the scientists from MPI-AB as they addressed the many challenges in their way to studying animal mating behavior. In the writer\u2019s own words:\u00a0\u00bbIt will be a fable from the point of view of a blackbuck spying on a team of scientists\u2026 offering a glimpse of the world behind the scenes of <\/em>\u203a<\/em>field research<\/em>\u2039<\/em> \u2013 equal parts exasperating, arduous, laughable and creative.\u00ab<\/em><\/span>\r\n\r\nUpcoming: event \u00bbDispatches from the Field\u00ab in June 2024 <\/span>\r\n\r\nOn June 7, 2024, former and current \u00bbField Trip\u00ab fellows together with guests present the first results of their residency during a public event at Kulturladen Konstanz e.V., a non-profit socio-cultural center in the neighborhood of the MPI\u2019s research campus in the city of Konstanz. The two-day event is an invitation to tune into sonic encounters and to join wildlife excursions, from the Sanctuary in Rajasthan\/India and the laboratories in Konstanz, to art communities in the buzzing streets of Bangalore. On this occasion, artist and composer Yashas Shetty<\/span><\/a> and MPI-researcher Vivek Hari Sridhar<\/span><\/a> will also share sound and video experiments synthesized from their \u00bbField Trip\u00ab residency in 2023.<\/span>\r\n\r\n "}]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/40529","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=40529"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"news_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news_type?post=40529"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
