Canvassers, 2017.

Kìzis and Marshal take part in a one-shot storytelling experiment. This exercise in listening within a single, uninterrupted take was created in response to scientific findings that demonstrate that a 10-minute active one-on-one conversation between two strangers can durably reduce longstanding ingrained prejudice.

The Extended Environmental Record in Shimoichi, Japan, 2023.

The Extended Environmental Record is a recurring and collective listening practice. It understands the environmental as including the nonhuman and human, alongside their relationships and intersections. EER upholds and develops difference within working, artistic and scientific forms of knowledge and decenters them from market and institutional authority. The Record shares its content based on the situated needs and dialogical decision-making of its members.

This dynamic exploration into the ethics of extremity and representation encompasses a sound installation, a publication in "Extremity in Society and Culture" book series by Lexington Press, as well as an upcoming nonfiction lens-based installation.

The Third Screen, 2023.

Within three-channel video installation, the conventional process of communicating research results, both in art and research, undergoes a subtle ontological rebellion. Viewers find themselves immersed in the experience of research participants - Azzouz, Joanna, Kevin, and Sheida — who are directly included in the interpretation and communication of the final research output. Informed by the tenets of decoloniality, working-class oral history, and popular education, this immersive installation stands not just as a static display but as a manifestation of a dialogic approach for knowledge-making.
