Unlearning Forests
Echoes of the Invisible – Soundscapes of the forests in the Safiental
«Unlearning Forests» aims to reflect on the existing relationship between humans and forest ecosystems and to advocate a re-evaluation of our approach to the natural landscape. A key component of the field research is the use of outdoor acoustic sensors to record and analyze microclimatic conditions and biodiversity in differently managed forests in the remote Safiental in Graubünden. First results will be presented in the form of an interactive audio-sound walk in the forests of the Safiental, where participants are invited to engage with various acoustic interfaces. The goal is to create an immersive experience through acoustic, physical, and sensory interactions fostering a deeper dialogue between human and non-human species. This initiative encourages a more mindful and reflective engagement with the forest environment.
