Cicada is a collection of artists who work with landscape - urban, natural, constructed and imagined.
On the web site it is made evident that a combination of results occur, including site-specific installations, performances and interactive pieces.
Cicada also make other bits of sound+image works for theatre, dance and performance projects.
In a street level interactive installation held in Adelaide 2004 by three aussie artists (Video: Kirsten Bradley + Nick Ritar , Audio: Ben Frost) a work was held which explores the delicate balancing act that unfolds when nature ventures into the city. It examines our relationship with the natural world, our desire to cultivate, capture, prune, tend, weed and above all dominate natural processes. It was rightly called Amensal. Amensalism is an association between organisms of two different species in which one is inhibited or destroyed and the other is unaffected. (Encyclopædia Britannica Online)
I really liked the visual organic appeal of this installation and if you were walking down the street, this would stop you dead in your tracks.
