Outside Linear Time is an exhibition of five artists who are exploring tactile landscapes where listening becomes a means of navigation, a re-structuring of one-self and of our systems of human and ecological resilience. Non-linear narratives explore materiality and physics, conditions of censorship and surveillance and epic tidal shifts. Selected by the Harvestworks arts committee and director emerita Carol Parkinson, the works employ mechanical sound recording and reproduction, video processing and stop motion imaging and sound objects presented through binaural and multichannel sound, video and audience activated artworks.

About the artist(s)
Seth Cluett is an internationally recognized composer and artist whose quiet, patient practice explores the territory between the senses, with a compelling attention to perception. His work is driven by themes of ecological collapse and resilience, often expressed through materials found in nature.
Qiujiang Levi Lu 卢秋江 is an experimental musician, media artist, and composer whose work centers on the body as a site of sonic transformation. Through custom-built electroacoustic instruments, feedback systems, and live performance, Lu explores how sound can become intimate, unstable, and physically charged. Their practice often extends the body through cyborg-like augmentations, including intraoral microphone-speaker systems and amplified laptop instruments, creating performances that merge ritual, noise, and embodied technology.
Itziar Barrio is an interdisciplinary artist producing long-term research-based projects that involve different agents and collaborators. By rewriting the dominant narratives through which our societies, identities, and realities are constructed, her work opens up new futures.
Sara Stern is an interdisciplinary artist based in New York City. Her recent projects prod varied histories of landscape and urban development with speculative fiction. She works between and across multimedia performance, moving image installation, sculpture, architectural intervention, and animation.
Zorica Čolić is an interdisciplinary artist, born in Serbia and based in New York City. She uses video, sound, found materials, text, and installation, to explore the issues around the human body as a cultural symptom, examining how health and well-being intersect with politics, gender, sexuality, ideology, and the economy.
