Invisible Sounds: ecological approaches to nature, culture and technology

• This paper discusses participative approaches to sound art, and how such artistic and scholarly practices may be enhanced through the use of immersive technologies. It builds on preliminary results from Invisible Sounds, both a Compositional and an Ecological Sound Art project which explores place through the minute detail of sound and vibration, also beyond the limits of human listening. With participation and artistic action as method, the project wishes to create novel understandings and heightened awareness of our environment, [...] seeking to highlight nested ecological spaces through a widened sense of sound and place. By studying structurally meaningful musical and sonic interaction through combining instrumental and sound composition with sensor technologies, the project also aims to expand some of our human understanding of, and engagement with, the ”more-than-human” world. Our discussion draws partly on Tim Ingold’s critique of the notion of soundscape, and its implications for an understanding of our relation to nature and culture as based on participation, thus emphasizing the situatedness of human cognition.
