'The Life of a Dead Tree' Immerse Members Preview (May 22, 2019)
An Evening with Mark Dion
Artist Mark Dion will give Immerse members exclusive insight into his commission for MOCA Toronto. Trees and forests have long populated Dion’s imagination and a particular body of his production. He is well-known for artworks that question how we experience, study, display and think about the natural world.
The evening was made complete with the support of our onsite partners and reception supporters, Forno Cultura, Masi Wine, Akin Collective Studios, the Ontario Science Centre, Art Metropole, Aesop, Grape Witches and Henderson Brewing. Thank you also to our exhibition partners, the University of Toronto Faculty of Forestry and the Royal Ontario Museum who offered their support and knowledge.

Pollination Wunder Station (short) - audio bee booth
Audio Bee Booth: Pollination Wunder Station (short demo, 2012)
An amplified habitat installation for solitary bees and wasps by Sarah Peebles
(See Audio Bee Booths page at
Booth fabrication assisted by: Rob Cruickshank (electronics), John Kuisma (woodworking) and Chris Bennett (wood burned illustrations). Video by Veronica Ladico .
This short video shows the Audio Bee Booth, Pollination Wunder Station and its Hymenopteran inhabitants at The Tree Museum, Gravenhurst, Ontario, Canada in August, 2011. (See below for current booth location.)
This is not a beehive. It has no honey bees (Apis), no honey, no colonies, no beeswax or honeycombs. The Audio Bee Booth is an outdoor installation designed to facilitate observing and listening to wild, local solitary bees and wasps as they create nests for their offspring. Much as a dead or dying tree attracts solitary bees and wasps which often seek out old beetle bores as their nest sites, the Audio Bee Booth passively aggregates solitary bees and wasps already nesting and foraging in the vicinity -- as well as their enemies, such as cuckoo bees, parasitic flies and fungi. Like a condo, the booth has individual apartments for the many varieties of solitary bees and wasps native to Ontario. Inside Pollination Wunder Station we see and hear a female adult solitary bee -- the mason bee Hoplitis spoliata -- provisioning her tunnel nest with pollen, within her nest construction of chewed leaves and mud (known as mastic).
A wider shot shows 3 different species of solitary bee nests with their larva, a few months later, which eventually inhabited this nest plank in adjacent tunnels: Hoplitis spoliata (mastic and mud), leafcutter bee Megachile campanulae (flowing resin) and an unidentified type of leafcutter bee (leaf pieces and mud).
Later in the video we see opaque pupae created by the masked bee Hylaeus sp. develop in cells created from a cellophane-like material deposited by the mother (in the nest plank's opposite side). These will develop into very small, shiny black bees with white/yellow markings on the face. Finally, we see a mason bee (H. Spoliata) -- just a few inches above the first bee in the video -- defending her nest from an intruding bee. The bee on the left might be a cuckoo bee, one of the cleptoparasite genus Coelioxys.
Because of fluctuating conditions, it is probably not optimal for a plant to evolve too tight a relationship
with any one pollinator. They must hedge their bets and maintain an hierarchy of pollinators. Some apparent inefficiency in the system at any one time may thus be necessary to long-term optimality.
—Bumblebee Economics (Bernd Heinrich, Harvard University Press)
Pollination Wunder Station is a unique Audio Bee Booth which refers to the historic practice of wunderkammer, 'cabinets of curiosities'. Rather than containing exotic, preserved specimens, however, it is full of curious living things. The booth's embedded vibrational sensors act as microphones which convey the subtleties of motion, physiology and materials to the viewer via headphones; the cabinet's pyrographic illustrations tell the story. Pollination Wunder Station is among several Audio Bee Booths in Ontario, each one unique. Aesthetically compelling, immersive and informative, Audio Bee Booths intersect habitat interpretation, pollination ecology, bioart, sound-installation and sculpture.
Pollination Wunder Station was commissioned as a part of Items may Shift 2011 exhibit at the Tree Museum, Gravenhurst, Ontario. It is permanently located at the TRCA field station at Lake St. George for educational use. Other Audio Bee Booth locations are listed at Resonating Bodies Web site (

Exploring the last vestige of the High Line
We are above the intersection of Bethune Street and Washington Street, where we have the rare opportunity to explore the last remaining unimproved piece of the former New York Central West Side High Line. This last block long piece of the right of way goes between Bethune Street and Bank Street, along Washington Street, and runs through the former Bell Laboratories. A picture of this factory with a Tri-Motor running through it from 1936 can be seen here:
Anyway, we start under the factory and make our way outside, where we look back at the buildings, then proceed to wade through the brush and see an old bumping block with a bit of rail still left. We then turn our attention to the street and a rather amusing sign pointed towards people parking illegally. The only way to get up to this location is by getting permission from the building manager of the Westbeth Artists Community building, then taking a ladder and climbing down to track level from the roof above. Enjoy this rare sight that will most likely never be made into a part of the current High Line park. If you have any questions about the video, feel free to message me. Comments are welcome. The video was taken on November 16th, 2011.
Orillia's DEAD Mall - Orillia Square Mall - Retail Case Study 001
Ok, the title was click bait. I think (or, at least, I hope) this mall is not dead. It's just... half vacant lol. This video is about Orillia Square Mall and how it has been reduced to less than 55% tenant occupancy.
