Currently in residence at the Hadden Park fieldhouse, their work has included a variety of public space interventions, performances, installations, and ephemeral gatherings thematically connected to the idea of the soundscape (or acoustic commons), as a participatory space. Their projects frequently involve collaborating with artists and community members in open ended activities to spark critical conversations and take creative risks. Some of their ongoing projects include the ensemble Gamelan Bike Bike and the interactive installation &#x27;Musical Playground&#x27;.<a href="https://www.instagram.com/publiksecrets" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">P﻿ublik Secrets Instagram</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/george.rahi.studios" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">G﻿eorge Rahi Instagram</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/robynckj/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">R﻿obyn Jacob Instagram</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/robynckj/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"></a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/publiksecrets" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Facebook</a> --------------Reylinn is a Vancouver based audio/visual artist and technician, DJ, and radio host.
