S: sight, sound, speculation (with site)

In the opening image, we're transported to an arboretum flourishing on the ancestral lands of the Multnomah and Clackamas peoples, where a child reimagines his perspective of a well-known grassy expanse. Through the inventive use of binoculars, he shifts his view, exploring the meadow in a way that alters its scale and familiarity, inviting a new relationship with the landscape.The second image introduces us to a unique auditory experience with Underground radio, set against the backdrop of the territories of the Middle Chinookian Tribes, including the Clackamas and Cascades peoples. Here, a child tunes into a sonic collaboration birthed by the collective creativity of her peers and local artists, known collectively as Friends of the Secret Underground. This audio project represents a harmonious blend of youthful imagination and artistic expression, resonating deeply with the listeners on these historic lands.Completing this trio, the third image captures a moment at a summer Maker Camp held on lands historically belonging to the Umatilla, Walla Walla, and Clackamas people. A child delves into the realms of creativity and speculation, constructing an "art-bot" and engaging in a thoughtful inquiry into the concept of gender. By inviting the art-bot to select its identity from a range of options listed on a specially prepared board, the child navigates the complexities of identity and expression, embodying a dual exploration of the possibilities that lie within both the art-bot and the notion of gender itself.

在开篇的图像中，我们被带入了位于Multnomah和Clackamas部族祖先土地上的植物园，那里一位孩童重新构想了他对于那片知名草地景观的视角。通过巧妙的望远镜使用，他转换了自己的视野，以改变尺度与熟悉度的方式探索了草地，从而与这片景观建立起新的联系。第二幅图像为我们呈现了一种独特的听觉体验——Underground广播，背景设定在中部奇努克部族领土，包括Clackamas和Cascades部族。在这里，一位孩童调谐到了由她的同龄人和当地艺术家集体创意孕育的声频协作，他们共同被称为“秘密地下之友”。这一音频项目代表了青少年想象力和艺术表达的和谐融合，与这些历史土地上的听众产生深远的共鸣。这一系列的三幅图像中，第三幅捕捉了在历史上属于Umatilla、Walla Walla和Clackamas部族的土地上举办的夏季创客营的一个瞬间。一位孩童深入创意与思考的领域，构建了一个“艺术机器人”，并对性别概念进行了深思熟虑的探究。通过邀请艺术机器人从特制的板上选择其身份，孩童在身份与表达方式的复杂性中导航，体现了对艺术机器人本身以及性别概念双重可能性的探索。
