They Can Never Burn The Stars is a multi-channel audio-visual performative installation by Cree sound artist Chloe Alexandra Thompson and Pacific Islander media artist DB Amorin, in a joint investigation of abstraction around shared experience, diasporic identity, and survivance. The work expands through the sonic spectrum, engaging sub-bass tones to high-pitched sirens whose interactions entangle the spatial experience of listening with the expanded field of embodied proprioception. Waves, in their many forms, arrive and depart as constant companions throughout the experience, with their presence evoking the non-static quality of our condition as spatial-acoustic beings. This work takes at its heart that survivance is sanctified and ensured through the ever-changing relationship of knowledge and tradition to that which is more than human.
