To Thrive Despite
Bio-sonification of Blasted Landscapes
The period we are living in, marked by its uniform highways, shopping centers, megacities and plastic products, will surely end; but the world coming after might be more beautiful. Finding inspiration from thriving despite, the installation invites the visitor to explore the life-promoting patches of our blasted landscapes. Re-inventing soundscapes of the Anthropocene by probing artefacts through a sensor glove controlled synthesizer.
“We humans may heed the lesson. We always create waste; life must excrete as it proliferates. … New wastes test life’s tolerance and stimulate life’s creativity.”
