Kristian Brevik is an artist, scientist, and educator, who works to bring together artistic practice, ecology+evolutionary science, and the environmental humanities into collaborative research and art exploring the ways the lives of humans and other beings are entangled. They research relationships between humans and insects using genetics and computational biology, teach science, art and the humanities in academic and community classes, write on the theory and practice of building kinship with other species, and create artwork in the form of large interactive installations, collaborative performance, and short zines on relationships between humans and others in the community of life. They seek to find ways that art and life can help to foster a sense of deep connectedness with the nonhuman kin with whom we share the world. Their large, participatory art installations are rooted in the places and ecologies they represent.
Malheur Maar: A hole in black ground. Steep cliff walls round. A ring of tall green reeds under the walls around the water. Some small people sit here and there silently on the cliffs among rabbitbrush and sagebrush. Some small people silently climb up my pants leg. In the round water are the reeds and the walls and some of the people and the wind moving and the silence.
—Ursula K. LeGuin
