What on earth is going on with this 'MASSIVE' exhibit!

Kelowna's latest Artist in Residence is bringing his thought-provoking, playful and understated exhibit to a park near you.

Lucas Glenn has created something massive... well, not really.

M.A.S.S.I.V.E. - Make-Shift Athropocene Symbiosis Station and Interface for Vibrant Exchange - ( a deliberately over-stated title) is actually a very modest trailer equipped with a few elements aimed at inspiring the public to think creatively and critically about climate change and our relationship with nature and each other.

Glenn has a simple solar panel that charges batteries that run his portable radio/cassette/CD player. That is then wired to guitar pedals that equalizes the sound which is played through a small speaker at a nearby tree. The frequencies are very beneficial for plant growth.

Or how about the seed library? The artist sprinkles seeds among the pages of a tiny book collection with the hope that as readers wander, they will fall to the ground and create new life.

"It's not really about grandiose solutions," Glenn told Kelowna10 at his latest stop at Rutland's Ben Lee Park. "It's framing itself as 'M.A.S.S.I.V.E.; it purports to be this huge thing, but it's really these small acts. It's not trying to say those are the solution but they're worth doing."

Check out the video.

You can check out the exhibit at Knox Mountain Park on Saturday, Sept 28 and Rotary Marsh Park on Saturday, Oct.5.
