She is cursed to repeat what she hears, thus she is ignored by all. This is an analogy for present-day attitudes to ecology. Eco-activists are not heard, they are cursed to repeat themselves endlessly.<\/p>\n<p>In this 16-minute-long film, I focused on the elements that create our world: air, water, earth and fire. Thanks to the three screens in the Copernicus Hall of Armagh Planetarium, the viewer can have an immersive, multi-sensory experience of nature, sound, and animation. It is particularly fitting that the film screening is alongside the Planetarium\u2019s exhibition on climate change.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Matthew Malcolm, Creative Industries Development Officer, Arts Council of Northern Ireland,\u00a0commented, \u201cThe Arts Council of Northern Ireland is excited to see Csilla Toldy\u2019s new work in the Armagh Planetarium; supported by the National Lottery Individual Artist Digital Evolution Programme.\u00a0 We are committed to encouraging work that crosses artform boundaries and this piece of immersive, multi-screen art brings together poetry, sound design, filmmaking, and animation.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Exhibiting at the Armagh Planetarium encourages consideration and discourse of the synergies between science and the arts; both rooted in observation, interpretation, and communication.\u00a0 Thanks to National Lottery players this funding is a game changer in enabling the Arts Council to support thrilling and innovative projects like this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The film is screened in a loop and visitors will be able to engage with the artwork in the next four weeks between 20<sup>th<\/sup> April \u2013 12<sup>th<\/sup> May. Csilla Toldy is giving an artist talk on Saturday 27<sup>th<\/sup> April at 1:00pm talking about her process and the ideas behind the artwork.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The screening will run from Saturday 20th April until Monday 20th May in the Planetarium\u2019s prestigious Copernicous Hall\u00a0 Armagh Planetarium has launched a screening of a digital film poem by Csilla Toldy, award-winning writer and video artist\/experimental film-maker.
