“Floating Islands – Vanishing Worlds Series”

Climate change movement.

My question is, what are the movement options have ecosystems that live on an island to deal with climate change. You could leave the island, plants and animals can move. Forests on land masses can change location. On an island, it’s a little more complicated. Species have adapted to these specific, local conditions.

Plants could leave an island with the animals and settle on a new one. But how far do they have to fly, swim? If the pace of climate change is too fast, then it will not be so easy for the specialized species to adapt to the pace and change location….

My audio walk across the island is synonymous with this movement. I walk across the island and hear what is happening on the ground, take it with me as a recording and move on. I move in a soundscape that has been around for a long time. Collect fragments/artifacts for a time after…

In my project “Sounds Of The Inner Tree” I use sensors to investigate what the tree actually hears. I try to listen into him.

The data from the sensors is one sound source, the other is the environmental sounds around the tree that I record with microphones.

The result is an auditory image that considers not only the sounds of the environment, but also the sound that goes through the tree, the wood, and affects it in one way or another.

In my project I can directly see that there is not only the airborne sound around the tree as a sound source, but also within the tree a rich sound field exists. Among other things, insects can be heard inhabiting the tree, such as earth bumblebees in the roots. Or caterpillars of beetles that eat through the tree or pupate there. Other inhabitants of the tree, such as birds or small rodents, can also be heard. However, very quiet.

My recordings reveal a little of these inner and outer worlds that plants hear and have. And also some that they make themselves.

The weather, the wind and the sun, play an important role. But also the whole forest, as an environment, as a habitat is an important actor and this ensemble, animals, insects, neighboring plants, among others.

It is a step to get a little distance from the anthropocentric view and to adopt a different perspective.
