About the Creator
Yussef Agbo-Ola’s multidisciplinary artistic practice creates interpretations of natural energy systems through interactive experiments. These experiments focus on depicting the multi-layered connections between, an array of sensory environments. The biological, anthropological, perceptual, and microscopic environment in which an organism inhabits are all research catalyst for creative expression. The process of understanding different cultures, on the human and microbial scale often requires a working methodology that is adaptive to different cultural belief systems, during field work. His aim is to used a diverse field of research methods, to reinterpret local knowledge, and its environmental importance cross culturally. This reflection is then expressed through architectural pavilions, photographic journalism, garments, interactive performance, digestion, experimental sound design, writing, or a quiet observing.
